The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` far back into distant history, in truth as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, we find two books which date from the 14th Century : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these have no connection with the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich. For the next few years, the powerful and wealthy tried to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookbooks are starting to become popular mostly due to increased literacy, people having more free time and disposable income. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
