The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be observed far back into the distant past, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, in the main part, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian describing 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 wonderful and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are some books dating from the 14th Century ; a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are nothing to do with the indian curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menus of the rich and wealthy people of that time. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful families of the West strove to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
