The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` far back into the distant past, in fact as far as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, in the main part, these early recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some stone tablets in ancient 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 anyone who tried it feel `wonderful`. Closer to modern times, we have a couple of interesting books dating from the 1300s - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they are nothing to do with the spicy food that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of meals served to the rich and powerful of the time. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes common in their social group. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
