The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Moving on, there are a couple of books dating from the 1300s ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books have no connection with the curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the tables of the rich and powerful of those days. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, such as basil and coriander. These new spices and herbs caused an explosion in publications on food, the majority of which still exist in academic collections. During the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe strove to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes common in their social group. The TV revolution brought us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
