The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be observed far back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel blissful. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find a couple of interesting books which date from the fourteenth century - a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are nothing to do with the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of food cooked for the rich people of the time. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes common in their social group. When we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks were in great demand, mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased free time and having more money to spend. The TV revolution gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
