The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, mostly, these early recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `wonderful`. Later, there are a couple of recipe books dating from the 14th Century - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are not about the indian curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menus of the upper classes of the time. For the decades that followed, the rich families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking publications are greatly in demand mostly as a result of increased literacy, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of television brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
