The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions way back into the far past, at least as far into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, these old records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel blissful and exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were some interesting books published in the 14th Century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are nothing to do with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food eaten by the rich and powerful of those days. Over the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West strove to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The introduction of television gave us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
