The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be observed back into the far past, at least as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. However, these, ancient cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have two interesting books published in the 14th Century : one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are not about the indian food that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the tables of the upper classes of the time. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the Middle-East, such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted an increase in recipe publications, the majority of which are now in academic collections. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications are in high demand, as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and having more money. The TV revolution brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
