The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be traced way back into the far past, in truth as far as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to food historians are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have two interesting cookery books which appeared in the fourteenth century : a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these have no connection with the indian curry that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of meals eaten by the upper classes of that time. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted an explosion in books on cookery, the majority of which still exist in private collections. Over the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes of the day. The arrival of TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
