The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be traced far back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these ancient cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making 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 and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are a couple of cookery books which were published in the 1300s ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are not about the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of food eaten by the upper classes of that period. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful families of the West competed to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, recipe books are highly popular mostly as a result of better eduction, increased leisure time and being a little richer. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
