The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to track the history of recipes far back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, generally, these ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a series of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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`. Later on, we have some recipe books which appeared in the 1300s : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these have no connection with the indian food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich people of those days. For the centuries that followed, the rich families of the West competed to offer the most exotic meals, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and cookery books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking publications were in great demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, leisure time and having more disposable income. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
