The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into antiquity, in truth as far as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel blissful. Closer to modern times, we find some books dating from the fourteenth century : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are not about the curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals cooked for the nobility of the period. During the next few hundred years, the powerful and rich strove to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
