The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of written recipes way back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early records were just basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 making those who drank it feel `blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have a couple of books dating from the 14th Century ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they are not about the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of food eaten by the rich people of the period. Over the following few hundred years, the rich families of Europe strove to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
