The History of Recipes
Experts have found proof that recipes existed back into distant history, in fact as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, these, old cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Closer to modern times, we have some books from the 1300s : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are unconnected to the curry that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of food cooked for the rich and powerful of the time. During the succeeding few centuries, the wealthy families of Europe strove to serve up the best banquets, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe books were greatly in demand due to increased literacy, leisure time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
