The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes far back into distant history, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these early records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 blissful and exhilarated. Later, we find a couple of cookery books published in the fourteenth century - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are nothing to do with the spicy food that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of food served to the rich and powerful of that time. For the decades that followed, the powerful and rich competed to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookbooks are highly popular as a result of better eduction, more leisure time and having more money. The arrival of television gave us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
