The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be observed way back into the distant past, in truth as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, in the main part, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics are some tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 anyone who tried it feel `wonderful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are two interesting cookery books which were published in the 1300s : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books are unconnected to the curry that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the upper classes of the time. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of the West tried to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes of the day. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe books are increasing in popularity as a result of more people being able to read, more free time and having more disposable income. The TV revolution brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
