The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into the far past, in fact as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are some tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have a couple of interesting cookery books which appeared in the 1300s ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are unconnected to the curry that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of that period. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab cooking, such as parsley and basil. These new culinary innovations created a torrent in publications on food, some of which are kept safe in private collections. Over the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe tried to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The introduction of television brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
We hope you enjoy this Sat Dinner_ Make Ahead Plan recipe.
