The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existance of recipes way back into the far past, at least as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, generally, these ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians are some tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have two recipe books from the 1300s - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are unconnected to the spicy food that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals cooked for the nobility of those days. During the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy competed to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on this site. |
