The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be found far back into antiquity, certainly as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, mostly, these early records were just very basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the preparation 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 `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find a couple of recipe books which appeared in the 1300s : a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are not about the curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the upper classes of that period. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes of the day. The TV revolution gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
