The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be found far back into distant history, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, generally, these old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find two interesting books which were published in the 14th Century - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are nothing to do with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of food eaten by the rich. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and rich competed with each other to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes of the day. When we get to the 20th century, cookbooks are in high demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income. The arrival of TV gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
