The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of written recipes far back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, generally, these ancient cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of tablets in Sumerian 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 having made people feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move on, there are some books dating from the 1300s : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books are nothing to do with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared for the upper classes. During the next few centuries, the wealthy families of the West strove to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The revolution that is television brought us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
