The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions back into history, in truth as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early records were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a series of clay 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 having made those who drank it feel exhilarated. Moving on, there are two interesting recipe books dating from the 14th Century : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books have no connection with the curry that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menus of the rich and powerful of that period. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes led to an explosion in publications on food, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. During the following few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve up the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe publications were increasing in popularity mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and having more money to spend. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
