The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of meal recipes back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, these, old cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a series of ancient tablets in 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 people feel `wonderful`. Later, there are a couple of interesting books which appeared in the 14th Century - a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are nothing to do with the indian curry that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the menues of the rich. During the following few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking books were in high demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having more free time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of television brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
