The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of written cooking instructions back into distant history, in truth as far back as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, these, early cookbooks were just simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few clay 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 having made those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Moving on, there were two interesting books which appeared in the 14th Century : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the nobility of that period. During the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery publications are in high demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more free time and being a little richer. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
