The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existence of recipes way back into the far past, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these ancient cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have two interesting books which appeared in the 14th Century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books have no connection with the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared by the chefs of the nobility of that time. Over the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes of the day. The introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
