The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be found back into the far past, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, sadly, these old cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 wonderful. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have a couple of cookery books which appeared in the fourteenth century ; a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books have no connection with the curry that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the rich people of those days. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the holy land, including parsley and basil. These new spices and herbs led to an explosion in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. Over the next few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Even so, it was during the 19th century that cooking and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing the recipes of their peers. When we get to the 20th century, cooking publications are highly popular mostly as a result of better eduction, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of TV brings us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
