The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into the distant past, in fact as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, sadly, these early cook books were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel blissful. Moving on, we find a couple of interesting recipe books which date from the 14th Century ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they have no connection with the indian curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich and powerful. During the next few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to lay on the most exotic meals, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. However, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
