The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced back into the far past, in truth as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. However, generally, these old cookbooks were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few clay tablets in Sumerian 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 anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have two interesting cookery books published in the 1300s ; one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books have no connection with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of food cooked for the upper classes of that time. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new foods and spices created an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are now in private cookery archives. Over the next few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. When we get to the 20th century, cooking publications were increasing in popularity as a result of better eduction, leisure time and being a little richer. The arrival of TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
