The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of written cooking instructions back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which show the baking 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 recipe books which date from the 14th Century : a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are nothing to do with the indian food that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared for the upper classes of that time. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful and rich competed to offer the most exotic meals, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. When we get to the 20th century, cookbooks are in great demand, mostly due to better eduction, more free time and having more money to spend. The arrival of TV gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
