The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found way back into distant history, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, mostly, these ancient cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were two interesting books from the 14th Century : one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books have no connection with the curry that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the tables of the rich and powerful of that time. Over the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West competed with each other to serve the best banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The arrival of TV brings us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
