The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be observed way back into ancient history, certainly as far as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these early cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have a couple of cookery books which appeared in the fourteenth century - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are unconnected to the indian curry that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the nobility of those days. Over the next few hundred years, the rich families of Europe competed to lay on the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers. The arrival of TV brought us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
