The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be found back into history, in truth as far as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, sadly, these early recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are some clay tablets in Sumerian which show 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 blissful and exhilarated. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are two interesting cookery books which date from the 14th Century ; a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they are not about the curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and wealthy people of that period. Over the succeeding few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
