The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existence of recipes far back into distant history, in truth as far back as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, these, old recipes were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 drinkers feel blissful. Later, we have a couple of interesting books published in the fourteenth century ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are not about the indian curry that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the tables of the upper classes of that period. For the decades that followed, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording popular recipes of the day. The arrival of television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
