The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made those who drank it feel `wonderful`. Moving on, there are two interesting recipe books which were published in the 1300s - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are unconnected to the indian curry that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals served to the nobility of the period. During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of the West tried to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing popular recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
