The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existence of recipes far back into history, in fact as far as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, sadly, these old cook books were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a series of tablets in 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 having made people feel exhilarated and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find a couple of books from the fourteenth century : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books have no connection with the indian food that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menues of the upper classes of the period. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses strove to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. By the arrival of the 20th century, cook books were starting to become popular due to better eduction, people having increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
