The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` way back into the far past, certainly as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel blissful. Later, we have a couple of cookery books which appeared in the 14th Century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are not about the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of food cooked for the rich and powerful of the period. For the decades that followed, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the most exotic meals, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The arrival of television brings us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
