The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` back into distant history, in truth as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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. Later, there are two books which appeared in the 14th Century - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they are nothing to do with the indian food that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the menues of the upper classes of those days. For the decades that followed, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and because of this cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe publications are starting to become popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and disposable income. The arrival of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
