The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existance of recipes far back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, mostly, these old recipes were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are some 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 having made people feel blissful. As we move on, we have a couple of interesting cookery books dating from the fourteenth century ; a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are unconnected to the spicy food that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food served to the upper classes of that time. During the next few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking books are increasing in popularity due to increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
