The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of meal recipes way back into distant history, certainly as far into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful. Later, there were a couple of interesting recipe books dating from the 1300s ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are not about the indian food that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of food cooked for the rich people of that time. During the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day. The arrival of television brings us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
