The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of written recipes far back into ancient history, certainly as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, these, old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some tablets in the Sumerian language 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 making anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Later, there were a couple of cookery books which were published in the 1300s : one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are nothing to do with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the rich and powerful of that time. For the centuries that followed, the rich and powerful families of the West competed to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery books are highly popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, more free time and being a little richer. The arrival of television gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
