The History of Recipes
Historians have found proof that recipes existed way back into distant history, in fact as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of ancient 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated. Closer to modern times, there were some books dating from the 1300s - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are unconnected to the indian food that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of meals cooked for the upper classes of that period. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs prompted a torrent in recipe publications, some of which still exist in private libraries. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
