The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of `recipes` way back into the far past, in truth as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these early recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move on, we have two interesting recipe books which date from the 1300s - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are nothing to do with the curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals served to the upper classes of the period. During the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe tried to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs 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 recipes to help cooks of their time. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking books are starting to become popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and disposable income. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
