The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions far back into the distant past, in truth as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Closer to modern times, we find a couple of interesting cookery books which were published in the fourteenth century ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books are not about the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of food eaten by the rich and wealthy people of the period. During the next few hundred years, the families of Europe tried to serve the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing popular recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
