The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these early cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language 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 drinkers feel `blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are some recipe books which were published in the 1300s : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books have no connection with the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the nobility of that time. Over the next few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes of the day. The introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
