The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes back into the distant past, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 and blissful. Later on, there are some recipe books published in the 14th Century ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are unconnected to the curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food eaten by the upper classes of those days. For the next few years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the most extravagent banquests, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe books are in great demand, as a result of higher levels of literacy, more free time and being a little richer. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
