The History of Recipes
We can track the history of meal recipes way back into history, certainly as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Later, there were a couple of recipe books which date from the fourteenth century - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are nothing to do with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of food eaten by the wealthy. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and tastes prompted an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are kept safe in academic collections. For the centuries that followed, the upper-class families of the West competed to serve up the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes were at a premium. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery publications are highly popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and having more money to spend. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
