The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of written recipes far back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making 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 exhilarated. Later, there were some recipe books published in the 1300s - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books have no connection with the indian food that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of food eaten by the nobility of the period. For the decades that followed, the rich and powerful families of the West competed with each other to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a result chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookery books are in great demand, as a result of increased literacy, increased leisure time and having more money. The arrival of television gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
