The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes back into the distant past, in fact as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are some books dating from the 14th Century - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books are nothing to do with the indian food that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the tables of the nobility of the period. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes of the day. The introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
