The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of written recipes way back into the far past, certainly as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 drank it feel blissful. Later, we have a couple of interesting recipe books dating from the 1300s ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are nothing to do with the curry that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared for the upper classes of that period. For the decades that followed, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. The arrival of television brings us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
