The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existence of recipes far back into distant history, at least as far as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, mostly, these early cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few clay tablets in Sumerian 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 making anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find a couple of interesting books which date from the fourteenth century ; one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are unconnected to the spicy food that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of meals served to the nobility of that period. Over the next few centuries, the powerful and wealthy competed with each other to serve up the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording the recipes of their peers. The introduction of television gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
