The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of written cooking instructions way back into the far past, certainly as far as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, generally, these ancient recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful. Moving on, we have a couple of cookery books dating from the fourteenth century : a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are not about the curry that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food eaten by the nobility of the time. During the following few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
