The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into the distant past, in fact as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, generally, these old cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation 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 `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Closer to modern times, there were a couple of interesting books from the fourteenth century : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are unconnected to the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the menues of the upper classes. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
