The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of meal recipes way back into distant history, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, generally, these early cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. As we move on, there were a couple of interesting books which were published in the 1300s - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books have no connection with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the rich and powerful of the period. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new culinary innovations led to an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are now in academic collections. During the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West competed with each other to offer the most extravagent meals, and because of this chefs and their recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
