The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` back into history, in truth as far back as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move on, there are two books which were published in the 14th Century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are not about the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and powerful of the period. During the next few centuries, the wealthy families of the West tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking publications are in great demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, increased leisure time and having more money to spend. The revolution that is television brought us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
We hope you enjoy this Polish Kapusta Soup recipe.
