The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be tracked way back into history, certainly as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these old recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making 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. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are two interesting cookery books which were published in the 14th Century : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are nothing to do with the spicy food that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the tables of the rich people of the period. Over the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, verifying, and recording the recipes of their peers. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
