The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes far back into antiquity, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making 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 to more modern times we find a couple of recipe books which were published in the 1300s - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they are nothing to do with the curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menus of the rich people of the period. Over the next few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to serve the most extravagent banquests, and because of this chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Even so, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording the recipes of their peers. The introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
