The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes way back into history, certainly as far as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, these, ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are some stone 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 having made anyone who tried it feel wonderful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were a couple of cookery books from the 14th Century : one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are unconnected to the spicy food that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared for the upper classes of the period. Over the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed to lay on the best banquets, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery publications are highly popular due to increased literacy, people having more free time and having more money. The introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
