The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of written cooking instructions way back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. However, generally, these ancient recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful and blissful. Closer to modern times, there were two interesting cookery books which were published in the 1300s - a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are unconnected to the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of the time. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a result chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookery books were increasing in popularity as a result of increased literacy, more spare time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
