The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions back into distant history, at least as far into history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, in the main part, these old recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language 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 those who drank it feel wonderful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are two interesting books which appeared in the fourteenth century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are not about the spicy food that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the upper classes of that time. Over the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe publications are in high demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and having more money to spend. The revolution that is television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
