The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of written recipes far back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just simple pictorial instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians are a few stone tablets in ancient 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 tried it feel wonderful. As we move on, we find a couple of books dating from the fourteenth century ; one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are not about the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the rich people of that period. During the next few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses strove to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the 20th century, cook books are starting to become popular mostly due to more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and having more money. The revolution that is television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
