The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into the distant past, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel exhilarated. Closer to modern times, we find some recipe books from the fourteenth century : a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are not about the curry that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of meals enjoyed by the upper classes of the time. During the succeeding few centuries, the families of Europe competed to offer the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording the recipes of their peers. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks were in great demand, due to better eduction, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
