The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes back into the far past, at least as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, mostly, these old records were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel exhilarated. Later, we have two recipe books from the 1300s ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are not about the curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals cooked for the rich and wealthy people of the time. For the decades that followed, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the best banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking publications are highly popular due to increased literacy, increased leisure time and disposable income. The arrival of television brings us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
