The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of meal recipes way back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, these, ancient cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics are a few clay 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated. Later, there were a couple of interesting books from the 1300s : a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books are nothing to do with the indian curry that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the nobility of those days. During the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The arrival of television brings us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
