The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existance of recipes back into the far past, in fact as far back as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, these, old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some 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 having made those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have some interesting books which appeared in the fourteenth century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are unconnected to the indian food that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menues of the rich people of those days. Over the following few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and cookery books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications are greatly in demand mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and being a little richer. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
