The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of meal recipes back into history, in fact as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, in the main part, these old records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 people feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, there are some books which date from the fourteenth century - a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are not about the indian curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the nobility of that time. For the next few years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve the most exotic meals, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe publications are greatly in demand mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased spare time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of the TV brought us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
