The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existance of recipes far back into the far past, in fact as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking 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 exhilarated. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were a couple of books dating from the 14th Century - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich and powerful of that period. Over the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of the West strove to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. The TV revolution brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
