The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existance of recipes back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are a couple of interesting cookery books which appeared in the fourteenth century - a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are nothing to do with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of meals eaten by the wealthy. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe tried to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
