The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` way back into distant history, in truth as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 `wonderful`. Closer to modern times, there are some books which appeared in the 1300s ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are unconnected to the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the Middle-East, such as rosemary and coriander. These new culinary innovations created an eruption in books on cooking, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. During the succeeding few centuries, the wealthy families of the West strove to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cooking books were greatly in demand mostly as a result of increased literacy, more free time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
