The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be tracked way back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, mostly, these ancient cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are a couple of books which date from the 14th Century - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they are unconnected to the curry that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of food served to the rich people of that period. Over the following few centuries, the powerful families of the West strove to serve the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe books are greatly in demand mostly due to more people being able to read, people having more spare time and disposable income. The introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
