The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions way back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just very simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics is a series of ancient 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 making people feel wonderful and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were a couple of interesting cookery books which date from the 14th Century ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are not about the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared for the rich and powerful of that time. Over the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West tried to serve up the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes common in their social group. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
