The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be traced back into the far past, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have a couple of cookery books which appeared in the 1300s - a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these have no connection with the spicy food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of meals eaten by the rich people of that period. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications are highly popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, leisure time and disposable income. The TV revolution brings 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 everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
