The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, old records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `wonderful`. Moving on, there were a couple of interesting books published in the 1300s - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are unconnected to the curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and powerful of that period. During the following few centuries, the upper classes competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and cookery books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery books are in high demand, as a result of better eduction, more spare time and having more money. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
