The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced way back into antiquity, in fact as far as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, mostly, these early cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a series of tablets in ancient 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 drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have a couple of cookery books which were published in the 14th Century - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals eaten by the rich and powerful. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the holy land, including coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to a torrent in recipe manuscripts, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe competed to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
