The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into distant history, in truth as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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. Closer to modern times, we find two interesting recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are nothing to do with the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of food eaten by the upper classes of that time. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and tastes led to a surge in books on cookery, most of which still exist in private libraries. During the next few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy tried to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cook books were starting to become popular as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased free time and having more money. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
