The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existance of recipes way back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are a few clay tablets in ancient 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 anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have a couple of interesting recipe books which date from the 1300s : a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are unconnected to the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menues of the nobility of that time. Over the following few hundred years, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. However, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
