The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be found far back into antiquity, in fact as far as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel blissful. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find a couple of books from the 14th Century ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these are nothing to do with the indian curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich people of that period. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses strove to lay on the best banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the twentieth century, cook books are starting to become popular due to higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The TV revolution gave us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
