The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be tracked far back into the far past, in fact as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, generally, these ancient cook books were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. As we move on, we find two interesting books which date from the fourteenth century : one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books have no connection with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of that time. During the following few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses competed with each other to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, cook books were in high demand, mostly due to better eduction, more leisure time and being a little richer. The arrival of television gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
