The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes back into antiquity, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, these, old records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts is a collection of stone 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 having made people feel blissful. Moving on, we find two interesting recipe books which date from the 1300s - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are not about the indian food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of the time. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices led to a torrent in recipe publications, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. During the next few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses tried to serve up the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
