The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existance of recipes back into history, in truth as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, these, old records were just very basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few stone tablets in ancient 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 those who drank it feel `wonderful`. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are two interesting recipe books published in the 14th Century : one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are not about the spicy food that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals served to the rich and powerful of the period. Over the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
