The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be found way back into the distant past, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, these, ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. Moving on, there were a couple of books published in the 14th Century ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are not about the indian food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food enjoyed by the rich and powerful of the time. During the following few centuries, the upper classes strove to serve the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our site. |
