The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed back into distant history, in fact as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 blissful and exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were some books which were published in the fourteenth century ; a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are not about the curry that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of meals served to the upper classes of that period. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West strove to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery publications were greatly in demand as a result of better eduction, people having increased free time and being a little richer. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
