The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes back into antiquity, in truth as far back as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, these ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few stone tablets in 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 making those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, there are two books which appeared in the fourteenth century : one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are nothing to do with the indian food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food eaten by the upper classes of the time. For the next few years, the powerful families of Europe tried to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The introduction of the TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
