The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions way back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. However, mostly, these early records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. Moving on, we have a couple of interesting books which were published in the 14th Century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these have no connection with the curry that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menues of the rich people of those days. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices caused an outbreak in publications on food, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. During the following few centuries, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes of the day. The revolution that is television brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
