The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` way back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful. Later on, there were two recipe books published in the 1300s ; a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are not about the spicy food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the rich and powerful of those days. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. These new herbs and spices was responsible for an increase in cookery books, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. For the next few years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing popular recipes of the day. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
