The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existance of recipes way back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old records were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a series of tablets in Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are a couple of cookery books from the fourteenth century : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these are nothing to do with the spicy food that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and powerful of the time. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted a surge in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful families of the West competed to lay on the best banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
