The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of written cooking instructions far back into the distant past, at least as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. However, generally, these ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Moving on, we find some recipe books published in the 1300s : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are nothing to do with the indian curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the upper classes of those days. During the following few centuries, the upper classes competed to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording the recipes of their peers. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
