The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of written recipes back into distant history, in truth as far as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these early recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts are some ancient tablets in ancient 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 drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move on, there are two interesting cookery books dating from the 1300s - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are not about the indian food that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menues of the upper classes of those days. During the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe publications are increasing in popularity mostly due to increased literacy, more free time and disposable income. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
