The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be observed back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts are some clay 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 anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were a couple of recipe books which were published in the 1300s ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these have no connection with the indian curry that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of the time. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an outbreak in books on cookery, most of which still exist in academic collections. Over the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve the most extravagent banquests, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the 20th century, cookery publications were highly popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and disposable income. The TV revolution brings us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on this site. |
