The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of written cooking instructions back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making 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 `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, there are a couple of books which date from the 1300s - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are not about the curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared by the chefs of the nobility of the period. For the centuries that followed, the powerful families of Europe strove to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a result cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The introduction of the TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
