The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of written cooking instructions way back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians are some clay 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 having made anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Moving on, we have a couple of interesting recipe books published in the 1300s : a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are not about the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the upper classes. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the holy lands, such as basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an increase in recipe books, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. During the following few centuries, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing popular recipes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, cooking publications are in high demand, as a result of better eduction, more free time and having more money to spend. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
