The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just simple pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful and blissful. Closer to modern times, we find a couple of interesting recipe books published in the 14th Century : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they are not about the indian curry that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared by the cooks of the nobility of those days. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
