The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into the distant past, at least as far into history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, generally, these old recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, there are two recipe books which appeared in the fourteenth century - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are unconnected to the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menus of the upper classes of that period. For the centuries that followed, the powerful families of Europe competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe publications were in great demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and having more money. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
