The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed far back into the far past, certainly as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, these, old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 drinkers feel blissful. Closer to modern times, we find a couple of recipe books which were published in the 14th Century : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are not about the indian curry that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of food cooked for the upper classes of the period. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and rich competed to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Isabella 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 recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookbooks are highly popular as a result of more people being able to read, people having more free time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
