The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed back into the distant past, in truth as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to food historians is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking 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. Closer to modern times, there are two books which appeared in the 1300s ; a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they have no connection with the indian curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals eaten by the nobility of the time. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Even so, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
