The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of written recipes far back into antiquity, at least as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. As we move on, we find two recipe books which date from the 1300s : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are unconnected to the curry that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the upper classes of that period. During the following few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses competed to serve up the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Even so, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The arrival of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
