The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be found back into distant history, at least as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 drank it feel blissful. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have some recipe books which appeared in the 14th Century - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are nothing to do with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the tables of the rich. Over the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe competed with each other to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers. The arrival of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
