The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed back into history, in fact as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, these, ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian 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 tried it feel exhilarated. Closer to modern times, there are some books which date from the 1300s ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books have no connection with the curry that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the upper classes of that time. During the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West strove to serve up the most exotic banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking books were greatly in demand mostly due to higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
