The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into the far past, in truth as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, mostly, these early recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking 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. Closer to modern times, we find a couple of interesting cookery books which date from the 1300s - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these have no connection with the indian food that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich and powerful of that time. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an explosion in publications on food, many of which still exist in academic collections. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and rich tried to serve the most exotic meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
