The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes back into the far past, in fact as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these old recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 making drinkers feel `wonderful`. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have some books which date from the fourteenth century ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they have no connection with the indian curry that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of food cooked for the nobility of that period. Over the next few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and cookery books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
