The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 drinkers feel `wonderful`. Later, there are a couple of recipe books dating from the 14th Century ; one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are not about the spicy food that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich and powerful of those days. For the centuries that followed, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe publications were highly popular due to better eduction, people having more spare time and being a little richer. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
