The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be traced back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have some books which were published in the fourteenth century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they have no connection with the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the nobility of the time. Over the following few centuries, the rich families of the West strove to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The arrival of TV brings us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
