The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of meal recipes far back into history, in fact as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, generally, these old cook books were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts are a few stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel blissful. Later, we find some books dating from the fourteenth century : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are nothing to do with the indian curry that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menus of the upper classes of those days. During the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy strove to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the 1900s, cook books were greatly in demand mostly due to more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and disposable income. The arrival of television gave us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
