The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked way back into the far past, in truth as far as early Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, sadly, these ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to food historians is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making 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. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have two interesting cookery books which appeared in the 14th Century - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they are not about the curry that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the rich. Over the following few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes of the day. The arrival of TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
