The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be tracked back into the distant past, in truth as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have a couple of interesting books from the fourteenth century - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are not about the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the menues of the rich and powerful. Over the next few centuries, the rich families of the West competed with each other to offer the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. However, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking publications were in great demand, due to better eduction, more leisure time and being a little richer. The introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
