The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked way back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, generally, these early cook books were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are a few stone 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 anyone who drank it feel blissful. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were a couple of interesting cookery books which appeared in the fourteenth century - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are not about the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the upper classes of the time. Over the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. The TV revolution brings us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
