The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be found far back into the distant past, in fact as far back as early Egypt, and maybe further still. However, these, ancient records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 those who drank it feel `blissful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were some interesting books which appeared in the 14th Century ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are nothing to do with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menus of the rich and wealthy people of that time. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the holy land, including parsley and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are kept safe in academic collections. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the upper classes strove to offer the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The TV revolution gave us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
