The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of meal recipes back into antiquity, certainly as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, these, early cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation 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`. Later on, there are two interesting books which date from the 14th Century - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are not about the curry that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menues of the rich people of the period. For the next few years, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic meals, and as a result cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. However, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking books were in high demand, mostly due to increased literacy, people having more free time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of the TV brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
