The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of recipes back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation 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 wonderful and blissful. Later on, there are some recipe books dating from the 14th Century - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are unconnected to the spicy food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menus of the rich and wealthy people of the period. For the next few years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
