The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes way back into distant history, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, generally, these early recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `blissful`. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were two interesting recipe books which were published in the 14th Century - a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they are not about the curry that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menus of the nobility of those days. Over the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve up the most extravagent meals, and because of this cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. The arrival of TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
