The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be traced back into the far past, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, these, ancient cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are a few stone tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 those who drank it feel blissful. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have two books dating from the 14th Century ; a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books have no connection with the curry that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich and powerful of the period. Over the next few hundred years, the rich families of the West tried to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the 20th century, cooking publications were starting to become popular due to increased literacy, people having more spare time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site. |
