The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be tracked far back into ancient history, in fact as far into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, generally, these early records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel `wonderful`. As we move on, we have a couple of cookery books published in the 14th Century : a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they are unconnected to the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich and wealthy people of that period. During the next few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe competed to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking books are highly popular as a result of increased literacy, people having more spare time and being a little richer. The revolution that is television brings us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
