The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existence of recipes way back into history, at least as far back as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, these, ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were two recipe books dating from the fourteenth century : one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are unconnected to the indian curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals served to the rich and wealthy people of that period. Over the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed to serve up the best banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes common in their social group. The introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
