The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existance of recipes far back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. However, mostly, these early records were just very simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 `wonderful`. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are a couple of interesting recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books have no connection with the indian curry that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich and wealthy people of those days. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and cookery books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collating, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking books were in high demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased free time and having more money to spend. The introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
