The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked back into distant history, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a collection 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 anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are two interesting books which appeared in the 1300s ; a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are nothing to do with the indian curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of the period. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the East, such as parsley and basil. These new herbs and spices prompted a surge in books on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. During the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe publications are in high demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, more free time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on this web site. |
