The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes far back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, these, early cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are some clay tablets in 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 having made drinkers feel `blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find some interesting books which appeared in the 1300s - a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are nothing to do with the indian food that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of food served to the upper classes of that time. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Even so, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The arrival of TV brought us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
