The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found way back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking 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 tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Closer to modern times, there were a couple of interesting cookery books which date from the fourteenth century ; one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of food served to the rich people of those days. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West tried to serve the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery publications were increasing in popularity mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and having more money. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
