The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into distant history, in fact as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are some ancient 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 having made anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. Closer to modern times, we have some books dating from the fourteenth century ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they have no connection with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of the period. During the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe strove to serve the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Even so, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the time we get to the twentieth century, recipe books were greatly in demand mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and having more money to spend. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
