The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of `recipes` far back into antiquity, in truth as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, sadly, these old cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts are some ancient tablets in 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 having made anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later, we find two interesting recipe books from the 14th Century ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are unconnected to the curry that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals eaten by the rich and powerful of the time. For the decades that followed, the powerful and rich houses tried to offer the best banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, cook books are starting to become popular due to higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and disposable income. The arrival of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
