The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of meal recipes back into distant history, at least as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, we have a couple of interesting cookery books published in the 1300s : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are nothing to do with the curry that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the rich people of the period. For the next few years, the upper-class families of Europe tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes common in their social group. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
