The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be found far back into the far past, in fact as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians is a series of tablets in Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have a couple of recipe books from the fourteenth century ; a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books are nothing to do with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the nobility of the period. Over the following few centuries, the rich families of Europe competed to serve the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers. When we get to the 1900s, recipe books were highly popular due to better eduction, people having increased free time and having more money to spend. The arrival of TV brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
