The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced far back into the far past, certainly as far back as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these early recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find two interesting books which date from the fourteenth century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books have no connection with the spicy food that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of meals served to the upper classes. During the following few hundred years, the powerful families of the West competed to serve the most exotic banquets, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, trying out, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe books are highly popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more spare time and having more disposable income. The arrival of television brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
