The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of recipes far back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, sadly, these old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making 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 exhilarated and blissful. Closer to modern times, we find some books which appeared in the fourteenth century ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they are nothing to do with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich and powerful of those days. During the succeeding few centuries, the families of Europe strove to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Even so, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks were greatly in demand mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money to spend. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
