The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into the distant past, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, generally, these old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are a few stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel blissful and exhilarated. Moving on, we find some interesting books from the 1300s - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books have no connection with the curry that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared for the rich. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and spices created an explosion in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. During the following few centuries, the families of Europe strove to offer the best banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the 1900s, cookbooks were greatly in demand due to better eduction, more spare time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
