The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of `recipes` back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, these, old recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians is a series of clay tablets in ancient 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 having made those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move on, we have a couple of interesting books which appeared in the fourteenth century ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they have no connection with the indian curry that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich people of those days. During the next few centuries, the rich families of the West competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking publications were in great demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and having more money. The revolution that is television brings us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
