The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be traced back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early records were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 `wonderful`. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are a couple of books which date from the 14th Century - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books have no connection with the curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals served to the rich people of that time. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, recipe publications were starting to become popular mostly due to increased literacy, people having more leisure time and being a little richer. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on this web site. |
