The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes way back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, mostly, these old cookbooks were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts are a few 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 drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are a couple of interesting books from the 1300s : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these have no connection with the indian curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of those days. Over the next few centuries, the powerful families of the West competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe books are in high demand, due to better eduction, increased leisure time and disposable income. The introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
