The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of written recipes far back into ancient history, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian describing the making 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 `wonderful`. Later, there were a couple of interesting recipe books which date from the 1300s - a book published under the title `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 spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the tables of the nobility of that period. For the decades that followed, the rich and powerful families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The arrival of television gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
