The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existance of recipes far back into history, in truth as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Moving on, we have a couple of interesting cookery books which date from the 14th Century - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books are not about the indian food that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of the time. During the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe tried to serve the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
