The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existance of recipes far back into distant history, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, generally, these early records were just simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have a couple of interesting cookery books dating from the 1300s - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are nothing to do with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the menus of the rich people of that time. Over the following few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve up the best banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications are increasing in popularity due to increased literacy, leisure time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
