The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` back into ancient history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, generally, these early records were just basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `wonderful`. Later, we have a couple of cookery books which date from the 1300s : one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are not about the indian curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food eaten by the upper classes of the time. For the decades that followed, the upper-class families of Europe competed to serve the most exotic meals, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking books are highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, more spare time and having more money. 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 invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
