The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be tracked way back into history, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old cook books were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were a couple of interesting recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books are nothing to do with the spicy food that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and powerful. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices created a surge in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording the recipes of their peers. The TV revolution brings us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
