The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient cook books were just simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 `blissful`. Moving on, there are two interesting recipe books which appeared in the fourteenth century - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these are nothing to do with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menus of the rich people of that period. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted a surge in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. During the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West tried to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookery publications were greatly in demand mostly due to more people being able to read, people having more free time and having more disposable income. The arrival of television brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on this site. |
