The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` back into the far past, certainly as far back into history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, sadly, these old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian 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 anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Later, we have a couple of recipe books which appeared in the fourteenth century - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books have no connection with the indian food that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the tables of the nobility of that period. For the decades that followed, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking publications are highly popular mostly as a result of better eduction, more leisure time and having more money. The arrival of television brings us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. 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 this site. |
