The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into the distant past, at least as far back as early Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, sadly, these old cookbooks were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel `blissful`. Later on, there are two recipe books which were published in the 14th Century : a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are nothing to do with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the menus of the rich and wealthy people of that period. For the centuries that followed, the powerful families of Europe competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this New Year's Eve Cocktail recipe.
