The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existance of recipes far back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these old recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find a couple of interesting books which appeared in the fourteenth century - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books have no connection with the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of that period. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to offer the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes common in their social group. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
