The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes way back into antiquity, certainly as far into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cook books were just very simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are a few clay tablets in ancient 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 anyone who drank it feel exhilarated. Closer to modern times, there were a couple of interesting recipe books which date from the 1300s ; a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these have no connection with the spicy food that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and wealthy people of the time. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to lay on the most exotic meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
We hope you enjoy this Russian Black Bread (Dak) recipe.
