The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of `recipes` far back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, mostly, these old records were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics are some tablets in 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 those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were some recipe books which appeared in the 1300s ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food served to the wealthy. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. Even so, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. When we get to the 20th century, cookery publications are in great demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, more free time and having more money to spend. The TV revolution brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
