The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be found far back into the far past, in fact as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, sadly, these old records were just very basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have a couple of interesting recipe books dating from the 1300s ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are not about the curry that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich and wealthy people of that time. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The TV revolution brings us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
