The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes way back into antiquity, in fact as far as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, mostly, these early cook books were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are a few ancient tablets in ancient 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 anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Closer to modern times, there were two books from the fourteenth century : a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are nothing to do with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich and powerful of the time. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe strove to lay on the best banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
