The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of recipes way back into history, in fact as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. However, generally, these early recipes were just basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian describing 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 anyone who tried it feel wonderful. Later, there are a couple of interesting recipe books from the 14th Century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are unconnected to the indian curry that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared by the chefs of the upper classes of the period. During the following few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The arrival of television brought us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
