The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to track the history of recipes far back into the far past, in truth as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, in the main part, these early recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are two interesting recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they have no connection with the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich people of the period. Over the succeeding few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, testing, and recording recipes of the day. When we get to the 20th century, recipe publications are increasing in popularity as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and having more money. The TV revolution brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
