The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes way back into history, in truth as far as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, mostly, these ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians are a few clay tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were two books which were published in the 14th Century - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food eaten by the nobility of those days. Over the next few centuries, the upper classes tried to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery books are starting to become popular as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more money. The introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
