The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes way back into the far past, certainly as far into history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, ancient records were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a series of tablets in Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have a couple of interesting recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century ; a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are unconnected to the spicy food that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food served to the upper classes of that time. Over the next few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking books are in high demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. The introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
