The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be observed way back into history, in truth as far back as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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 blissful. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were two books from the fourteenth century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are unconnected to the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals eaten by the rich and wealthy people of that period. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West tried to offer the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The TV revolution brings us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
