The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to academics are a few ancient 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 anyone who tried it feel blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have a couple of cookery books which date from the fourteenth century - a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they have no connection with the indian curry that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the menues of the nobility of the period. Over the next few centuries, the rich families of the West competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking publications were highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. The introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
