The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes way back into the far past, in fact as far as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. Closer to modern times, we have two books dating from the 1300s ; a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books have no connection with the indian food that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the tables of the nobility of the period. During the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking books are starting to become popular due to better eduction, leisure time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
