The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existance of recipes far back into the distant past, in fact as far back as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these early cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a series of 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 anyone who tried it feel `wonderful`. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were some interesting books published in the fourteenth century : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are nothing to do with the indian food that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals cooked for the rich and powerful of the time. Over the following few hundred years, the upper classes strove to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes common in their social group. The introduction of television gave us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
