The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, these old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of clay 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 drank it feel `wonderful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were some interesting books from the fourteenth century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books are not about the indian food that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals cooked for the wealthy. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of the West strove to offer the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the twentieth century, cookery books were greatly in demand due to more people being able to read, people having increased free time and having more disposable income. The TV revolution gave us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on our web site. |
