The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making 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 tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Moving on, there were two recipe books from the 1300s : a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are unconnected to the curry that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared for the rich and powerful of those days. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices created a torrent in publications on food, the majority of which still exist in academic collections. During the following few centuries, the upper classes competed to serve up the best banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery books are highly popular due to more people being able to read, more spare time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
