The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` way back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection 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 anyone who drank it feel blissful. Later, there are a couple of books which appeared in the 14th Century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are not about the curry that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of the period. During the following few hundred years, the powerful families of the West strove to serve the most exotic meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe books are greatly in demand mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more free time and having more disposable income. The arrival of television brought us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site. |
