The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be found far back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics is a series of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 drinkers feel `wonderful`. Moving on, there are some interesting books which were published in the 1300s ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are unconnected to the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the nobility of the time. During the following few centuries, the powerful families of the West strove to serve up the most extravagent meals, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe books are greatly in demand mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
