The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of clay tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. Moving on, there were a couple of interesting recipe books dating from the 1300s ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are unconnected to the spicy food that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals eaten by the upper classes of the time. During the next few hundred years, the upper classes competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording the recipes of their peers. By the time we get to the 20th century, cook books are starting to become popular due to more people being able to read, people having increased free time and having more disposable income. The arrival of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
