The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of meal recipes way back into history, in fact as far back as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, sadly, these early recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics are some tablets in the Sumerian language 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 making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have a couple of interesting books which were published in the 14th Century : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are nothing to do with the spicy food that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared for the rich and wealthy people of those days. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the holy land, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices created a surge in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are now in private libraries. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Even so, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking books are in high demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more free time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
