The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existance of recipes back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian which describe the preparation 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 `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are a couple of interesting books dating from the fourteenth century : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals cooked for the upper classes of the period. Over the following few centuries, the powerful and rich houses competed to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, cook books are highly popular mostly due to more people being able to read, people having more spare time and having more disposable income. The arrival of TV gave us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
