The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be tracked way back into antiquity, at least as far back as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, these, early cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to historians is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel `wonderful`. Later, we find two interesting books which date from the 1300s - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are not about the curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menus of the nobility of that time. For the decades that followed, the families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. The arrival of television gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
