The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions back into the distant past, in truth as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Closer to modern times, there were some books which appeared in the 14th Century - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books have no connection with the indian curry that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the wealthy. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the most exotic meals, and because of this cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
