The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of recipes way back into history, at least as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. In practice though, these, early cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of 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 making drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. Moving on, there were two recipe books published in the 1300s - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they have no connection with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of food enjoyed by the rich people of those days. During the following few centuries, the upper-class families of the West competed to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a result chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery publications were in great demand, as a result of increased literacy, increased leisure time and being a little richer. The revolution that is television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
