The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existance of recipes back into antiquity, certainly as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old records were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian 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 having made drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are a couple of books from the 1300s - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are nothing to do with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and powerful of those days. Over the following few centuries, the wealthy families of the West strove to serve the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording the recipes of their peers. The arrival of TV brought us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
