The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be observed way back into the distant past, in fact as far back as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are a few tablets in Sumerian which recount the preparation 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 blissful. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are some interesting books which appeared in the fourteenth century - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are unconnected to the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menues of the upper classes of that time. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the holy land, including coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to a torrent in manuscripts on food, most of which are now in private libraries. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful families of the West strove to offer the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the 1900s, recipe books are greatly in demand mostly as a result of better eduction, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of TV brought us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
