The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into antiquity, in truth as far as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, in the main part, these early records were just basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are some tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Moving on, we find two interesting cookery books from the 1300s : a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are nothing to do with the indian curry that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the menus of the wealthy. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes led to a surge in publications on food, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the twentieth century, cookery books were greatly in demand as a result of better eduction, more leisure time and being a little richer. The TV revolution brings us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
