The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existance of recipes way back into history, in truth as far back into history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the baking 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 exhilarated and blissful. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find a couple of recipe books from the fourteenth century - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books are not about the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of those days. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the upper classes competed to serve the best banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing popular recipes of the day. When we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks were highly popular due to increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money to spend. The TV revolution gave us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
