The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians are some tablets in Sumerian describing 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 drinkers feel blissful. Moving on, there were two interesting cookery books which were published in the 1300s - a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are not about the indian curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals served to the upper classes of the time. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the holy land, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and tastes was responsible for a torrent in books on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. During the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
