The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of written recipes far back into ancient history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are two books dating from the fourteenth century : a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they are unconnected to the indian curry that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menues of the upper classes of the time. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from the East, including spices like basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for a torrent in books on cookery, many of which are now in private cookery archives. Over the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the best banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
