The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions way back into ancient history, certainly as far back as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, generally, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation 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, wonderful and blissful`. As we move on, we find some recipe books which appeared in the fourteenth century ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are not about the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menus of the nobility of the period. During the following few hundred years, the powerful and rich competed with each other to offer the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookbooks are in great demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, people having increased spare time and disposable income. The arrival of television gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
