The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of `recipes` back into distant history, in truth as far as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel `wonderful`. As we move on, there are two interesting cookery books dating from the 1300s : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they are unconnected to the indian food that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food eaten by the upper classes of those days. During the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Europe tried to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe publications are increasing in popularity due to better eduction, increased leisure time and being a little richer. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
