The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, generally, these old cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some ancient 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 people feel exhilarated. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have a couple of interesting books which were published in the 14th Century ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are unconnected to the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the menues of the nobility of those days. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the holy lands, such as basil and coriander. These new foods and spices created an eruption in recipe books, some of which are now in private cookery archives. Over the next few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing popular recipes of the day. The arrival of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
