The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existance of recipes way back into distant history, at least as far into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, generally, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making 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. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were some recipe books which date from the 14th Century : one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are nothing to do with the spicy food that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of food served to the rich people of the period. Over the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West competed to offer the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
