The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existance of recipes way back into ancient history, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful. Closer to modern times, we have a couple of interesting recipe books from the 14th Century : a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are not about the indian food that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals cooked for the rich and powerful of those days. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to serve the best banquets, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
