The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be traced far back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find some interesting books which date from the fourteenth century - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books have no connection with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of that period. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses strove to offer the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, testing, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. When we get to the 20th century, cook books are greatly in demand mostly due to more people being able to read, people having increased free time and disposable income. The arrival of TV gave us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
