The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existence of recipes far back into the far past, in truth as far back as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, mostly, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are a few ancient 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 tried it feel wonderful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find two interesting recipe books which date from the fourteenth century - a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are unconnected to the curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the menues of the rich people of that period. Over the following few hundred years, the families of Europe tried to offer the most exotic meals, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookbooks were starting to become popular mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money to spend. The introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
