The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes way back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, generally, these old recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 drinkers feel wonderful. Later, there are two recipe books which appeared in the 14th Century ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they have no connection with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared for the rich and wealthy people of that time. For the centuries that followed, the wealthy families of the West competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes common in their social group. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
