The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be observed back into the distant past, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, generally, these old recipes were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are two interesting cookery books which appeared in the 14th Century - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books have no connection with the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals served to the rich and wealthy people of the period. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. However, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The TV revolution brought us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
