The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into the far past, at least as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian describing 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 drinkers feel `wonderful`. Closer to modern times, we find two interesting books published in the 1300s ; one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are not about the curry that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the upper classes of those days. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and rich competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and cookery books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks are in high demand, as a result of more people being able to read, leisure time and having more money. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
