The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of recipes far back into distant history, at least as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, generally, these ancient cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts 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 making anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`. Moving on, we find some recipe books dating from the 1300s : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are nothing to do with the indian curry that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and powerful of the time. During the following few centuries, the powerful and rich competed with each other to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the 1900s, cookbooks are in great demand, mostly due to more people being able to read, increased leisure time and disposable income. The revolution that is television gave us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
