The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of recipes far back into antiquity, in truth as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, generally, these old cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 anyone who drank it feel `blissful`. Later, there were two recipe books which appeared in the 14th Century : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are nothing to do with the curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich and wealthy people of the period. For the decades that followed, the upper classes competed to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery books are in great demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having more leisure time and being a little richer. The arrival of television gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
