The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, generally, these ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection of clay 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 `blissful`. Moving on, there are two interesting recipe books dating from the fourteenth century : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books have no connection with the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food eaten by the rich people of that time. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices caused an explosion in recipe books, many of which are now in private collections. During the following few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve up the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
