The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be found way back into the far past, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the baking 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`. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have a couple of interesting recipe books which were published in the 14th Century ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these have no connection with the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of that period. Over the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes of the day. When we get to the 20th century, cooking books are in high demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The TV revolution brings us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
