The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of written recipes back into ancient history, at least as far into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which show 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later, we have some recipe books which appeared in the 1300s ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are nothing to do with the spicy food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of meals cooked for the rich people of the time. For the decades that followed, the rich families of the West competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and cookery books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
