The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes way back into ancient history, certainly as far back as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, in the main part, these old records were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation 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 `wonderful`. Later, we have two interesting books which date from the fourteenth century : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are nothing to do with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the upper classes. For the decades that followed, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The arrival of television brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
