The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of meal recipes way back into distant history, in truth as far as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old recipes were just very basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a series of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move on, there were two interesting cookery books published in the 14th Century : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are not about the spicy food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menus of the rich. During the next few centuries, the upper-class families of the West tried to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. However, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collating, testing, and publishing recipes of the day. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery publications were increasing in popularity as a result of increased literacy, people having more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on this web site. |
