The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` back into the distant past, in truth as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, generally, these ancient cook books were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts are some tablets in ancient 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 tried it feel `blissful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find a couple of interesting recipe books which were published in the 1300s : a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are not about the indian food that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared for the wealthy. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and cookery books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes common in their social group. The TV revolution gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
