The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existance of recipes way back into the far past, at least as far back as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, generally, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are some stone tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have two recipe books which appeared in the fourteenth century ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are unconnected to the indian curry that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared for the rich people of the time. Over the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe competed to serve up the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
