The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existence of recipes back into history, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, mostly, these old cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a series of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `wonderful`. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are a couple of interesting recipe books from the 14th Century - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are not about the indian food that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of food enjoyed by the nobility of the period. Over the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes were at a premium. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. The introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
