The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of `recipes` way back into antiquity, in truth as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old cookbooks were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are a few 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 those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Closer to modern times, we have a couple of cookery books dating from the fourteenth century ; a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are not about the indian curry that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich people of those days. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the East, including spices like rosemary and coriander. These new foods and tastes created a torrent in recipe books, the majority of which are now in academic collections. During the next few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications are highly popular due to increased literacy, people having increased free time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
