The History of Recipes
We can track the history of meal recipes back into antiquity, in fact as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. Later, there are some books which date from the 14th Century - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these are nothing to do with the spicy food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals cooked for the rich people of those days. For the centuries that followed, the powerful families of Europe strove to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking books were greatly in demand mostly due to increased literacy, people having more leisure time and disposable income. The introduction of the TV brought us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
