The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes way back into antiquity, certainly as far back as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are a few ancient 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 having made drinkers feel wonderful. Later, there were a couple of interesting recipe books which appeared in the 1300s - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books have no connection with the curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the menues of the rich and powerful of the time. For the decades that followed, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to lay on the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers. The arrival of television brings us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
