The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes far back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which show the making 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 and blissful. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are a couple of cookery books which date from the fourteenth century - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are unconnected to the spicy food that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of food cooked for the rich and powerful. Over the following few centuries, the powerful families of the West competed to lay on the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes became highly prized. However, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the 1900s, recipe books are highly popular mostly due to better eduction, people having increased leisure time and disposable income. The arrival of TV brought us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
