The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these early cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel blissful and exhilarated. Moving on, there were a couple of books which were published in the 1300s : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are unconnected to the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menus of the nobility of the period. During the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe strove to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
