The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be observed way back into the far past, certainly as far back as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of ancient 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 making anyone who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have two interesting books dating from the 14th Century ; one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are not about the curry that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the tables of the rich people of those days. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording the recipes of their peers. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking books are in high demand, mostly due to better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more money. The TV revolution brings us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
