The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes far back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, generally, these ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are some 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 making anyone who drank it feel `blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find a couple of books dating from the fourteenth century : one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are not about the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of food prepared for the rich and wealthy people of the time. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and rich strove to serve the best banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookbooks are starting to become popular due to higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and having more money. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
