The History of Recipes
We can read the history of `recipes` way back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, generally, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `wonderful`. Later on, there were a couple of interesting books which date from the fourteenth century - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books have no connection with the curry that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of that period. For the next few years, the upper-class families of the West competed with each other to serve up the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording popular recipes of the day. The introduction of the TV brings us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
