The History of Recipes
Historians have found proof that recipes existed back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, these, ancient cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Closer to modern times, there are a couple of recipe books which date from the fourteenth century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are not about the indian curry that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich and powerful of the period. During the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West competed to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and recording recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking books were highly popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and being a little richer. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
