The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be traced back into distant history, at least as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of clay 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Closer to modern times, we find some recipe books which appeared in the 1300s - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are unconnected to the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich and wealthy people of that time. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to an eruption in books on cooking, some of which are kept safe in private collections. During the next few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses competed with each other to offer the most extravagent meals, and because of this chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cook books were in great demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
