The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked far back into ancient history, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old recipes were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel exhilarated. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were two books dating from the 14th Century : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these have no connection with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals cooked for the nobility of the time. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs prompted an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. Over the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West tried to offer the best banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes common in their social group. When we get to the 1900s, cookery books were starting to become popular due to more people being able to read, people having more spare time and having more disposable income. The arrival of TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
