The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existence of recipes way back into ancient history, at least as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Having said that, generally, these early recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 drank it feel `wonderful`. Moving on, we find a couple of interesting recipe books from the 14th Century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are not about the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of food eaten by the rich people of that period. During the next few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, cook books are in high demand, due to more people being able to read, people having more spare time and having more money. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
