The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, generally, these ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some stone tablets in Sumerian which recount 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 anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were two interesting books published in the 14th Century - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are unconnected to the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich and powerful of that period. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the East, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and spices prompted a torrent in books on cooking, many of which are now in private collections. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery publications are in high demand, as a result of increased literacy, more leisure time and being a little richer. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
