The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes way back into history, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some 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 having made anyone who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were some interesting books which date from the fourteenth century : a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are not about the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menues of the rich and powerful of the time. Over the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe strove to offer the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our site. |
