The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes far back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are some tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel exhilarated. Later, we find some recipe books which were published in the 1300s - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are unconnected to the curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the nobility of the period. For the centuries that followed, the powerful and rich houses competed with each other to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
