The History of Recipes
We can read the history of `recipes` way back into the far past, at least as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, these, early cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 making drinkers feel exhilarated. Moving on, there are a couple of interesting books which date from the 1300s ; a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are not about the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the rich people of the period. During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of the West competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording the recipes of their peers. The revolution that is television brought us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
