The History of Recipes
Experts have found proof that recipes existed way back into ancient history, in truth as far back as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. However, generally, these ancient recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are a few ancient 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 anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, there were some interesting books which were published in the fourteenth century - a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they have no connection with the curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of food served to the wealthy. For the next few years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The introduction of the TV brings us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
