The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of written cooking instructions way back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics is a series of ancient 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 anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Moving on, there were a couple of recipe books from the 14th Century - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are not about the indian food that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared for the rich and powerful of the time. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and spices prompted an increase in recipe publications, most of which are kept safe in private collections. During the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West competed to serve the best banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes common in their social group. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site. |
