The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of `recipes` way back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel wonderful. As we move on, there were a couple of interesting books which appeared in the fourteenth century : a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books have no connection with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the tables of the rich people of those days. For the decades that followed, the wealthy families of the West tried to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The arrival of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Citrus Marinade recipe.
