The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes far back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old records were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians are some 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 having made anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Closer to modern times, there were a couple of interesting recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century - a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are not about the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the upper classes. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery books were in high demand, as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and having more money to spend. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
