The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of recipes way back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, there are a couple of recipe books dating from the fourteenth century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they have no connection with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of food cooked for the nobility of the period. For the centuries that followed, the powerful families of the West competed to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our site. |
