The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these old recipes were just simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 and exhilarated. Later on, there are some recipe books from the 1300s : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these have no connection with the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the upper classes. For the next few years, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to offer the best banquets, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
