The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, these, early cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series 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 anyone who drank it feel exhilarated. Moving on, we have a couple of cookery books published in the 14th Century ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books are not about the indian food that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of food eaten by the rich and powerful of that time. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the Middle-East, including basil and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused a torrent in recipe publications, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections. During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of Europe competed to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and cookery books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing popular recipes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe books were highly popular as a result of increased literacy, people having more leisure time and being a little richer. The revolution that is television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
