The History of Recipes
We can read the history of `recipes` back into ancient history, in truth as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 anyone who drank it feel blissful. Later on, we have two interesting cookery books which were published in the 1300s - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these have no connection with the curry that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of food cooked for the nobility of that period. For the next few years, the upper-class families of Europe tried to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that formal cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking books are increasing in popularity as a result of better eduction, more free time and having more disposable income. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
