The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be found far back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were a couple of interesting recipe books which date from the 14th Century ; one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books are not about the indian curry that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich and wealthy people of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including parsley and basil. These new herbs and spices caused an increase in books on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private collections. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. When we get to the twentieth century, cookery books are in high demand, mostly due to increased literacy, people having more spare time and being a little richer. The TV revolution gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
