The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of meal recipes back into the distant past, at least as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 making anyone who drank it feel blissful. Later on, there are some recipe books which date from the fourteenth century - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are not about the indian curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food eaten by the rich people of those days. For the next few years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
