The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` way back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these ancient records were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel blissful. As we move on, there were a couple of interesting books which were published in the 1300s : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are unconnected to the curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared for the rich and wealthy people of that time. During the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The revolution that is television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
