The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes back into ancient history, in fact as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have a couple of books which were published in the 14th Century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are unconnected to the curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menus of the nobility of the time. Over the following few hundred years, the rich families of the West strove to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications were greatly in demand mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more free time and being a little richer. The introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
