The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of written cooking instructions far back into antiquity, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are some tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. Later on, we find a couple of cookery books dating from the fourteenth century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are unconnected to the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of meals served to the upper classes of the period. For the centuries that followed, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the twentieth century, cook books are highly popular due to increased literacy, people having increased free time and having more money. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on this web site. |
