The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existence of recipes way back into distant history, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were a couple of interesting recipe books which date from the fourteenth century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the menues of the rich and powerful of that time. Over the next few centuries, the upper-class families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing popular recipes of the day. The introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site. |
