The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be found back into distant history, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient recipes were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made people feel exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have two interesting cookery books which were published in the 14th Century - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are not about the indian food that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of food cooked for the nobility of that period. Over the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Europe tried to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe books were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of more people being able to read, more free time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our site. |
