The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of written recipes way back into distant history, certainly as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these old records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. Closer to modern times, we have a couple of interesting books which date from the fourteenth century ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books have no connection with the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared for the rich and wealthy people of those days. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of the West competed with each other to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking publications were in great demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
