The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be observed far back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, these, early cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts are some 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 anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find a couple of interesting books which were published in the 1300s ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these have no connection with the indian food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of meals enjoyed by the upper classes of those days. Over the following few centuries, the upper classes competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, cookbooks were in high demand, as a result of increased literacy, leisure time and disposable income. The arrival of TV gave us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
