The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be found back into the far past, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, sadly, these old records were just simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to historians is a series of 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 making those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were a couple of interesting recipe books published in the fourteenth century : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are unconnected to the spicy food that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the rich people of the time. Over the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. However, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes of the day. The introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
