The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be tracked far back into the distant past, at least as far back as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. However, generally, these early cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the baking 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 wonderful and blissful. Later on, there were a couple of cookery books dating from the 1300s : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they are nothing to do with the spicy food that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menues of the nobility of that time. For the next few years, the upper classes competed to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Even so, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books are highly popular due to better eduction, leisure time and having more money. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
