The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existence of recipes way back into history, certainly as far back as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount 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 anyone who tried it feel wonderful. Later on, we find a couple of interesting cookery books from the fourteenth century - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are nothing to do with the indian food that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the upper classes of those days. For the next few years, the powerful and wealthy tried to serve the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and cookery books became really popular. 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 collating, trying out, and recording the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the twentieth century, cook books were increasing in popularity due to more people being able to read, people having increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
