The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into history, at least as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Moving on, there are a couple of interesting books which date from the 1300s : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are unconnected to the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menues of the rich and powerful of the time. During the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. However, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cooking books were in high demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
