The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes far back into the distant past, in fact as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these old records were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find some books which were published in the fourteenth century : one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are not about the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared for the upper classes of that time. Over the next few centuries, the upper classes strove to serve up the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes of the day. The introduction of television gave us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
