The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes back into the distant past, in truth as far back as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are two books which were published in the fourteenth century : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books have no connection with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the tables of the nobility of those days. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
