The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` far back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few ancient 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 anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. As we move on, we find a couple of books which were published in the fourteenth century ; one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are nothing to do with the spicy food that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the rich people of the period. During the next few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses strove to lay on the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The revolution that is television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
