The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, these, early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation 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. Closer to modern times, there were a couple of interesting cookery books dating from the 1300s ; a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are unconnected to the curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and powerful of the time. During the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of the West tried to serve the most exotic banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. However, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collating, testing, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
