The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be traced way back into ancient history, at least as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few clay tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `blissful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have some recipe books dating from the fourteenth century : one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food served to the rich and powerful. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe competed to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collating, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers. The TV revolution brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
