The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes far back into the far past, in truth as far back into history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking 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. Moving on, we find a couple of interesting cookery books from the fourteenth century - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are unconnected to the spicy food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared for the rich and powerful. During the following few centuries, the families of Europe tried to serve up the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The revolution that is television gave us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
