The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be found way back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians are some tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were a couple of books which appeared in the fourteenth century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are unconnected to the spicy food that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals cooked for the rich and wealthy people of that period. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes of the day. When we get to the twentieth century, cookery books were starting to become popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having increased free time and having more money. The TV revolution brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
