The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existance of recipes back into the far past, in truth as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 people feel blissful and exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have two books which date from the 1300s : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these have no connection with the curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menus of the rich and wealthy people of that period. Over the following few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications are starting to become popular mostly due to more people being able to read, more spare time and being a little richer. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
