The History of Recipes
We can read the history of meal recipes back into history, at least as far back as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, mostly, these old recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking 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`. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have two recipe books which appeared in the 1300s ; a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are nothing to do with the curry that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the nobility of that period. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of the West competed to offer the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
