The History of Recipes
We can track the history of written recipes way back into the far past, at least as far into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, generally, these early cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel exhilarated. Later on, we have some recipe books dating from the 1300s : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are nothing to do with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of food eaten by the rich and powerful of the period. For the next few years, the upper-class families of Europe competed to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
