The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to track the history of recipes back into distant history, in truth as far as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel blissful. Moving on, we have two interesting cookery books from the fourteenth century : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these are not about the indian food that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the nobility of those days. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted an increase in recipe publications, some of which are now in private collections. During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of Europe tried to lay on the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site. |
