The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of written cooking instructions back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. However, generally, these ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. Closer to modern times, there are a couple of interesting books which appeared in the 1300s : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food served to the wealthy. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the twentieth century, recipe publications were in high demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Diabetic Bark Candy recipe.
