The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existance of recipes far back into distant history, at least as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient recipes were just basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 anyone who drank it feel wonderful. Closer to modern times, we find some recipe books dating from the 1300s ; a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are unconnected to the curry that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of meals eaten by the rich people of the time. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and rich competed with each other to offer the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
