The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be observed far back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, these early cook books were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some ancient tablets in ancient 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 making people feel exhilarated. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were two interesting recipe books which appeared in the fourteenth century ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these have no connection with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menues of the rich and powerful of that time. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like basil and coriander. These new herbs and spices caused an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. Over the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of the West tried to serve up the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The arrival of TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
