The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into antiquity, in fact as far as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians are some 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 having made people feel wonderful and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find a couple of interesting recipe books published in the 1300s - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are not about the indian food that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the wealthy. Over the next few centuries, the families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a result chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books 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 collating, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The introduction of television gave us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off 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 like the ones you can find on this site. |
