The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of `recipes` back into the far past, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these early cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `blissful`. As we move on, there were a couple of cookery books published in the fourteenth century - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are not about the indian curry that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich and wealthy people of those days. During the next few centuries, the upper-class families of the West competed to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. The revolution that is television brings us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
