The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be found far back into ancient history, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking 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 wonderful. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were a couple of books which were published in the 1300s : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are unconnected to the indian food that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the menues of the rich and powerful of that period. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West strove to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes of the day. When we get to the twentieth century, cookery books are starting to become popular as a result of better eduction, increased leisure time and having more disposable income. The TV revolution gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
