The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be tracked far back into the distant past, in truth as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 people feel `blissful`. Later on, we find two interesting cookery books from the fourteenth century - a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these have no connection with the indian curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the tables of the upper classes. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted an outbreak in books on cookery, many of which still exist in private libraries. For the next few years, the powerful and rich houses tried to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
