The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be traced back into the far past, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection of tablets in Sumerian which recount the making 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 and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have some interesting books from the 14th Century : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these are nothing to do with the indian curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food cooked for the rich and powerful of those days. Over the following few centuries, the rich families of the West strove to offer the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The arrival of TV brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
