The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of written recipes back into antiquity, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, in the main part, these old recipes were just basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians are some tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, there are some interesting books which date from the 1300s - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books have no connection with the curry that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the tables of the upper classes of those days. For the centuries that followed, the wealthy families of the West strove to offer the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes of the day. The introduction of the TV brought us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
