The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes way back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, generally, these early recipes were just basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are two books dating from the 1300s - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are nothing to do with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the tables of the rich people of those days. Over the following few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
