The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of meal recipes back into the far past, at least as far back into history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, generally, these old cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some tablets in Sumerian 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 anyone who drank it feel `blissful`. Later on, we have some recipe books from the fourteenth century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books are nothing to do with the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of food served to the rich and powerful of that period. For the next few years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes of the day. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
