The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of written recipes far back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts are a few clay tablets in 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 blissful. Later on, there were some interesting books published in the 1300s : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books are nothing to do with the indian food that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals cooked for the rich and powerful of that period. For the centuries that followed, the upper-class families of the West strove to offer the most extravagent banquests, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, trying out, and publishing popular recipes of the day. The introduction of the TV brings us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
