The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` far back into ancient history, in truth as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, generally, these old records were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of 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 people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, there were a couple of interesting cookery books from the 1300s ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are not about the curry that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals served to the rich people of those days. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe tried to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The TV revolution brings us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
