The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked back into history, at least as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a series of clay 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 having made anyone who tried it feel `wonderful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are two recipe books dating from the 14th Century ; a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are nothing to do with the curry that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the menues of the nobility of the time. Over the succeeding few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the best banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes of the day. When we get to the 20th century, recipe publications are in great demand, due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and having more disposable income. The TV revolution brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
