The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of recipes back into antiquity, at least as far back as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, these, ancient cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are some clay tablets in Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, there are two recipe books which were published in the 1300s : a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are nothing to do with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of food enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of that time. For the centuries that followed, the wealthy families of the West competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella 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 the recipes of their peers. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking books were in great demand, as a result of increased literacy, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
