The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions back into the distant past, in truth as far as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of tablets in Sumerian which describe 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, wonderful and blissful`. Later, there are a couple of interesting cookery books dating from the 1300s : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are not about the indian curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared for the nobility of those days. For the decades that followed, the powerful families of Europe tried to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. However, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The arrival of television brought us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
