The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into ancient history, in truth as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these old records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 `wonderful`. As we move on, we have two interesting recipe books from the fourteenth century ; a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are unconnected to the indian curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and wealthy people of the time. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an eruption in books on cooking, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. During the next few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve up the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
