The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into history, in fact as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel blissful and exhilarated. Moving on, there are some books published in the 1300s : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are unconnected to the spicy food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food enjoyed by the nobility of the period. During the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe publications are greatly in demand as a result of more people being able to read, more free time and having more money. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
