The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existence of recipes back into the far past, certainly as far as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, these early recipes were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are a few clay 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 drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have a couple of cookery books from the fourteenth century : one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are nothing to do with the curry that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the menus of the upper classes of the time. Over the following few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes of the day. The introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
