The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existence of recipes way back into the distant past, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some stone 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 having made people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are some interesting books dating from the fourteenth century - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books have no connection with the indian curry that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of meals served to the rich and wealthy people of the period. Over the next few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe books are greatly in demand mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased spare time and being a little richer. The introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
