The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existence of recipes back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, mostly, these old records were just very simple pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 people feel wonderful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have a couple of recipe books dating from the 1300s : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are not about the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich and powerful of that time. Over the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Europe competed to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
