The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of written cooking instructions way back into distant history, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these old records were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts are a few stone tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation 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 drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Moving on, there were two books which were published in the fourteenth century : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are nothing to do with the indian curry that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of food eaten by the rich and powerful. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the East, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted an outbreak in books on cooking, the majority of which are now in private collections. During the following few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
