The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be observed back into antiquity, in truth as far as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful. Moving on, there were a couple of cookery books which were published in the fourteenth century : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the upper classes of that time. During the next few hundred years, the upper classes competed to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery books are highly popular mostly as a result of better eduction, people having increased spare time and having more money. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
