The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes way back into history, in fact as far back as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which show 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 drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are two interesting books which were published in the fourteenth century ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are not about the indian curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals served to the rich and powerful of the period. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. The TV revolution brought us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
