Both this one and the previous salmon recipe I developed today while
driving around doing some errands. I may be a poor old retired modest
school principal type, but that does not mean that I can't enjoy the

The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into antiquity, at least as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, sadly, these old recipes were just very basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are a few clay 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 making people feel blissful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius tells us how the Romans made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like thyme, fennel and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the holy land, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new spices and herbs caused an increase in recipe books, some of which are kept safe in academic collections. For the centuries that followed, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery publications are in high demand, as a result of better eduction, people having increased spare time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of the TV brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
