The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be observed way back into the distant past, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient recipes were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are two books dating from the fourteenth century - a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they have no connection with the indian curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the nobility of the period. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of the West tried to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing popular recipes of the day. The TV revolution brought us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
