The History of Recipes
Food historians have found proof that recipes existed back into distant history, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, sadly, these early recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are two interesting books which date from the 14th Century ; one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are nothing to do with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of food eaten by the rich and powerful of the period. During the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe publications are in high demand, mostly due to more people being able to read, more leisure time and being a little richer. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
