The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into ancient history, in truth as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a series of clay tablets in Sumerian describing 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 anyone who drank it feel blissful. Moving on, there were two books which date from the 14th Century : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they have no connection with the spicy food that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of the period. During the following few hundred years, the upper classes competed to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. The arrival of television gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
