The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of written recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, sadly, these old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe the preparation 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 exhilarated and blissful. As we move on, we have a couple of cookery books which were published in the fourteenth century ; a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they have no connection with the indian food that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared for the rich and powerful of that time. During the following few hundred years, the rich families of the West competed to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording the recipes of their peers. The arrival of television brings us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
