The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existence of recipes far back into the far past, in fact as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, mostly, these early recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have a couple of interesting recipe books which date from the 1300s - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are unconnected to the indian food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich people of that period. Over the next few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. The introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
