The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be found back into the far past, in fact as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have some interesting books which appeared in the 14th Century : one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are not about the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the tables of the rich people of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused a torrent in books on cookery, some of which still exist in private collections. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes common in their social group. The TV revolution brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
