The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` back into antiquity, at least as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. However, mostly, these old records were just very basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics are some tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, there are two recipe books published in the 14th Century ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are not about the indian curry that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the menues of the rich people of those days. For the next few years, the wealthy families of the West competed to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. The introduction of the TV brought 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 everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
