The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, sadly, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian 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 having made drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later, there are a couple of recipe books which appeared in the 14th Century ; one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are nothing to do with the indian food that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich people of those days. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the East, including spices like parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes prompted a surge in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections. Over the next few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the best banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe books are in high demand, due to increased literacy, people having increased spare time and disposable income. The introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
