The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existance of recipes back into distant history, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, sadly, these old cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian which show 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 drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are two interesting books from the 14th Century : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are nothing to do with the indian curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menus of the rich and powerful of that period. Over the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the best banquets, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
