The History of Recipes
Experts have found proof that recipes existed way back into history, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, generally, these old cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel exhilarated and blissful. Closer to modern times, there were a couple of books which date from the 14th Century : a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food cooked for the rich and wealthy people of the time. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe strove to serve the most exotic meals, and as a result the best cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing the recipes of their peers. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our web site. |
