The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into the far past, at least as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, these, ancient cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts are a few stone tablets in 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 drinkers feel wonderful. Closer to modern times, we find some books which appeared in the 1300s ; a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books are nothing to do with the indian curry that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals cooked for the rich and wealthy people of the period. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and wealthy strove to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, testing, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks are greatly in demand mostly as a result of more people being able to read, leisure time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
