The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of recipes back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these early records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 those who drank it feel `blissful`. Later on, there are a couple of recipe books which were published in the 14th Century ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these have no connection with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the wealthy. For the centuries that followed, the wealthy families of the West competed to serve the most extravagent meals, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes common in their social group. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
