The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be found way back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these early records were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are a few tablets in ancient 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 having made drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. Later, we have a couple of interesting recipe books from the 1300s ; one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books have no connection with the spicy food that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the tables of the rich people of those days. During the following few hundred years, the rich families of the West competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The arrival of television brings us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on our site. |
