The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be found far back into history, certainly as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, mostly, these old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find a couple of recipe books which appeared in the 14th Century - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are not about the spicy food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food eaten by the upper classes of those days. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses competed to serve the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes became highly prized. However, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The TV revolution gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on this site. |
