The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes far back into ancient history, in truth as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these ancient records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics are some clay tablets in 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 tried it feel wonderful and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were two books which appeared in the 1300s - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are nothing to do with the spicy food that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared for the nobility of that time. Over the following few centuries, the upper classes tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site. |
