The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of written cooking instructions back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these ancient recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 exhilarated. Closer to modern times, there are a couple of interesting books which were published in the 14th Century ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these have no connection with the spicy food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the nobility of those days. During the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and cookery books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
