The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked way back into antiquity, at least as far back as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are some clay tablets in Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel wonderful and blissful. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were two recipe books which were published in the 14th Century - a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are unconnected to the spicy food that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of meals eaten by the rich and wealthy people of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an eruption in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. However, it was during the 19th century that cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes common in their social group. When we get to the 20th century, cookery publications are in great demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more spare time and a general increase in wealth. The TV revolution brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
