The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. As we move on, there were a couple of recipe books dating from the fourteenth century : a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich. During the following few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of the West competed to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The arrival of television gave us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
