The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked way back into the distant past, at least as far into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, these, old records were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are two recipe books dating from the 1300s - a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are not about the indian curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared by the chefs of the upper classes of the time. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of the West competed to offer the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, testing, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the 20th century, recipe books are in great demand, due to better eduction, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The TV revolution brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
