The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of recipes back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel wonderful. Closer to modern times, there are a couple of interesting recipe books which date from the fourteenth century - a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals cooked for the rich and powerful. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing popular recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
