The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes far back into antiquity, in fact as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 drank it feel `wonderful`. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find some books which appeared in the 14th Century ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books have no connection with the curry that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of food enjoyed by the rich and powerful of those days. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses strove to serve the most exotic meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the 20th century, cook books are greatly in demand mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
