The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of written recipes back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which recount 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 anyone who tried it feel wonderful. Later on, there are a couple of recipe books which date from the fourteenth century ; one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these have no connection with the curry that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menues of the upper classes of those days. For the centuries that followed, the wealthy families of the West competed to serve the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes common in their social group. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
