The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into ancient history, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, generally, these early recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation 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, wonderful and blissful`. Closer to modern times, we have a couple of books which date from the 14th Century ; a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the upper classes of the time. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to a surge in manuscripts on food, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. During the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe strove to serve the most exotic meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. However, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications were greatly in demand mostly due to increased literacy, people having more spare time and having more money to spend. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
