The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the baking 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 blissful and exhilarated. Later, there are a couple of interesting recipe books which appeared in the 1300s - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are not about the curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and powerful of those days. For the decades that followed, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and because of this chefs and their recipes were at a premium. However, it was during the nineteenth century that formal 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 the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The arrival of television brought us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
