The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into the far past, in truth as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, generally, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 people feel `blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are a couple of interesting books dating from the 14th Century : a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books have no connection with the indian food that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of food served to the rich and powerful of the time. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes created an explosion in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. Over the next few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe publications were in great demand, due to increased literacy, people having more spare time and having more money to spend. The introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
