The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of `recipes` way back into ancient history, in fact as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, these, ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to food historians are a few stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making 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 exhilarated and blissful. Later, we have a couple of books which appeared in the 14th Century ; a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books have no connection with the curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of the period. For the centuries that followed, the rich families of Europe strove to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers. The introduction of the TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site. |
