The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be observed back into ancient history, certainly as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, these, old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to experts is a series of stone tablets in ancient 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 and exhilarated. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have two interesting books dating from the 14th Century - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these have no connection with the spicy food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of meals eaten by the nobility of those days. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of the West competed with each other to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipes became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes of the day. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications were in high demand, mostly due to increased literacy, people having more free time and disposable income. The TV revolution brings us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
