The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of written recipes back into the distant past, at least as far as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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 tried it feel blissful. As we move on, we find two interesting recipe books which date from the 14th Century ; one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are nothing to do with the curry that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the rich and powerful of those days. During the next few centuries, the families of Europe tried to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that formal cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The revolution that is television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
