The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of written recipes way back into distant history, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, these, old recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move on, there were some interesting books which date from the 14th Century ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are not about the spicy food that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the wealthy. During the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West strove to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookery publications were greatly in demand mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and being a little richer. The arrival of television brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
