The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` way back into ancient history, in truth as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, these, early records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Later, we have two books dating from the fourteenth century - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are unconnected to the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menus of the rich. During the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe tried to offer the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe books were starting to become popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and being a little richer. The arrival of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
