that's about it. Then I just marinated the mushrooms in the fridge,
just like the m**t, (I did it over night), flipping them every so
often) and broiled. I served it with wildrice with onions. (I am a
very big fan of w.rice!)

The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be found way back into antiquity, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these old recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a collection of 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 people feel exhilarated. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were a couple of recipe books which were published in the 14th Century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are nothing to do with the spicy food that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals served to the rich people of the period. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the Middle-East, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created a surge in books on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections. Over the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their recipes were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and cookery books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the 1900s, cookery books were highly popular as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and having more disposable income. The arrival of TV brings us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
