The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be observed far back into history, in truth as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation 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 blissful and exhilarated. As we move on, there were a couple of interesting recipe books published in the fourteenth century ; a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books have no connection with the curry that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the rich people of that period. During the next few centuries, the upper-class families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, recipe publications were in high demand, mostly due to increased literacy, more leisure time and disposable income. The arrival of TV brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
