The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existance of recipes far back into ancient history, at least as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these ancient recipes were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 tried it feel wonderful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were some recipe books which were published in the 1300s ; a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these have no connection with the indian curry that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of meals served to the nobility of that period. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of the West competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, trying out, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery books are in great demand, as a result of higher levels of literacy, leisure time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
