The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes back into history, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, these, early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Closer to modern times, there are two interesting books which appeared in the 1300s : one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are not about the indian food that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich and wealthy people of that time. During the succeeding few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. However, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe publications are in high demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and having more money. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
