The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existence of recipes far back into history, in fact as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, generally, these old cook books were just simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a series of tablets in 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 having made drinkers feel blissful. Later, we have some recipe books published in the fourteenth century ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of the period. For the decades that followed, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Even so, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and cookery books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
