The History of Recipes
We can track the history of meal recipes way back into the far past, in truth as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, these, early recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to food historians are some clay tablets in Sumerian which show 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 drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Later, we have a couple of interesting cookery books dating from the 14th Century : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are unconnected to the indian curry that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menus of the rich and powerful of the period. For the centuries that followed, the upper-class families of Europe tried to serve up the best banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking books are increasing in popularity due to more people being able to read, more free time and having more money to spend. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
