The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of meal recipes far back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. In practice though, sadly, these ancient records were just very simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the baking 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 exhilarated and blissful. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find two interesting books which date from the 1300s - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are unconnected to the curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich people of that time. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and rich competed with each other to serve the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day. The TV revolution gave us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
