The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes far back into distant history, in fact as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, these, early recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are a few tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 and blissful. Later, we find some interesting books published in the 14th Century : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these have no connection with the indian curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals eaten by the rich and powerful of the time. For the centuries that followed, the powerful and wealthy strove to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. The arrival of television gave us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
