The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes back into antiquity, certainly as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. However, sadly, these ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which show 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 blissful and exhilarated. Later, there are a couple of interesting recipe books published in the fourteenth century ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books have no connection with the curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich and wealthy people of that period. For the decades that followed, the wealthy families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking books were in high demand, as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and having more disposable income. The arrival of television brought us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
