The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` far back into history, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, these, early recipes were just basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `wonderful`. Later, we find two books dating from the 1300s - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are nothing to do with the spicy food that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the nobility of that period. During the following few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses tried to offer the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, cook books were starting to become popular due to better eduction, more free time and having more money to spend. The arrival of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
