The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 drinkers feel wonderful. Later on, there are a couple of books published in the 14th Century ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books are unconnected to the indian curry that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of that period. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from the holy lands, including parsley and basil. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an eruption in books on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. For the next few years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe publications are greatly in demand as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of the TV brought us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
