The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of meal recipes back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts are some clay tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 people feel `blissful`. Later, we have some books published in the fourteenth century - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they are unconnected to the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and wealthy people of the period. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to offer the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the 20th century, cook books are in great demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased leisure time and having more money to spend. The introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
