The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existance of recipes back into ancient history, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, mostly, these ancient recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are some clay tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking 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 exhilarated and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have a couple of books which appeared in the 14th Century : a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are not about the spicy food that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the menues of the rich people of those days. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of the West strove to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
