The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be found back into history, at least as far back as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, these, early recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are two recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books have no connection with the curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of the time. Over the succeeding few centuries, the wealthy families of the West competed to serve up the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes common in their social group. The arrival of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
