The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existance of recipes far back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. However, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find a couple of interesting recipe books which date from the fourteenth century : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are not about the indian curry that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the menues of the rich and powerful of those days. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the East, including spices like basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices prompted a torrent in recipe books, the majority of which are now in private collections. Over the following few hundred years, the families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookbooks were in high demand, mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased spare time and being a little richer. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
