The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existence of recipes far back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, mostly, these ancient cook books were just primitive pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the making 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 `wonderful`. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were a couple of interesting cookery books dating from the 14th Century : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books have no connection with the indian food that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of the time. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the East, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to an explosion in recipe manuscripts, most of which are now in private collections. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. However, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing popular recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
