The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of recipes way back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking 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`. Later on, there are a couple of interesting books which appeared in the 1300s : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are not about the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the menues of the rich and powerful. For the centuries that followed, the powerful families of the West competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent meals, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes of the day. The introduction of the TV brought us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
