The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, these, early recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. Closer to modern times, there were a couple of cookery books which date from the 14th Century ; one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are nothing to do with the curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the nobility of those days. During the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve the most exotic meals, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes of the day. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookery publications were highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, people having more free time and having more money. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
