The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existance of recipes back into the far past, in truth as far back as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making 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 wonderful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have two books which appeared in the 14th Century - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they are nothing to do with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared for the rich and powerful of that time. Over the following few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications are starting to become popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and being a little richer. The introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
