The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existance of recipes far back into history, in fact as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. However, sadly, these early records were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are some clay tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 those who drank it feel wonderful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find a couple of books published in the fourteenth century - a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books are not about the indian food that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food enjoyed by the nobility of that period. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy strove to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and cookery books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the 20th century, cook books were starting to become popular as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
