The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked way back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are a few tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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 anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were a couple of interesting books dating from the 1300s : a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books are nothing to do with the indian food that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the upper classes of the period. Over the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the most exotic banquets, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes common in their social group. When we get to the 1900s, cookery books were in great demand, due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and having more money to spend. The arrival of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on our site. |
