The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existance of recipes back into the distant past, at least as far back as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection 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 making anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Moving on, we find a couple of interesting books which date from the fourteenth century - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are unconnected to the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of food served to the rich people of the period. During the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy competed with each other to offer the most exotic meals, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
