The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be traced back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early cook books were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are some tablets in Sumerian which show the making 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 exhilarated. Later on, we find a couple of books dating from the 14th Century : a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are unconnected to the indian food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of food enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of that period. For the next few years, the powerful and wealthy strove to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
