The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of written cooking instructions back into antiquity, certainly as far back as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, sadly, these old recipes were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Moving on, there are two interesting books which were published in the fourteenth century : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these have no connection with the indian food that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the tables of the rich people of the period. During the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West competed with each other to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
