The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, mostly, these old records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts are some clay tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking 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 exhilarated. As we move on, there are some books which were published in the fourteenth century - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books have no connection with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the tables of the rich and powerful. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes led to an outbreak in cookery books, some of which are now in private collections. During the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The revolution that is television brought us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
