The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be tracked back into the far past, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, in the main part, these early records were just very basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `wonderful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have a couple of recipe books from the 1300s : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the rich and powerful of that period. For the decades that followed, the rich families of the West competed with each other to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The arrival of television brings us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
