The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be found far back into antiquity, in fact as far as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection of stone tablets in 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find two books from the 14th Century ; a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are not about the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of meals cooked for the rich and wealthy people of the time. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses strove to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. However, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. When we get to the twentieth century, cook books are starting to become popular due to better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income. The TV revolution gave us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
