The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into history, in fact as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient records were just very simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking 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 wonderful. Closer to modern times, we have two recipe books which date from the fourteenth century ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are not about the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the tables of the nobility of that time. During the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe competed to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, testing, and publishing recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking books are in great demand, mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and being a little richer. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
