The History of Recipes
We can track the history of written recipes back into history, in truth as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. In practice though, sadly, these early cookbooks were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel `wonderful`. Moving on, we find two recipe books which date from the 14th Century - a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books have no connection with the indian food that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich people of that time. During the next few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses competed to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
