The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes way back into ancient history, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, generally, these early cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics is a collection of stone tablets in 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 making anyone who tried it feel blissful. Later, we have some interesting books from the 1300s ; a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are not about the curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the menues of the rich and powerful of the period. For the decades that followed, the rich families of Europe strove to offer the best banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The arrival of television brought us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
