The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be observed back into distant history, in truth as far into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to food historians is a series of clay tablets in Sumerian 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 making anyone who tried it feel `wonderful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find a couple of interesting cookery books dating from the fourteenth century ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are unconnected to the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of that period. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses tried to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Even so, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. The TV revolution gave us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
