The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions back into ancient history, at least as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful. Later on, we have two books which were published in the fourteenth century ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they have no connection with the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and powerful of the time. For the centuries that followed, the rich families of the West strove to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking publications were starting to become popular mostly as a result of better eduction, people having increased leisure time and having more money to spend. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
We hope you enjoy this 250 Dollar Cookie Recipie recipe.
