The History of Recipes
Food historians have found proof that recipes existed way back into history, in fact as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, mostly, these early cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are a few tablets in 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 anyone who drank it feel `blissful`. Closer to modern times, there were some interesting books which appeared in the fourteenth century ; a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are nothing to do with the curry that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the upper classes of that period. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookery books were greatly in demand mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and having more money to spend. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
