The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into antiquity, in truth as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians is a series of tablets in Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, there were two interesting cookery books which appeared in the 1300s : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are nothing to do with the indian food that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the menus of the upper classes of the period. For the centuries that followed, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the most exotic meals, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Even so, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
