The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions back into distant history, in fact as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, these, early recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `blissful`. Moving on, we have a couple of books which were published in the fourteenth century ; a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books have no connection with the curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of food eaten by the rich people of the time. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like parsley and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, some of which are now in academic collections. During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of Europe strove to serve the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers. The revolution that is television brought us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
