The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of written recipes back into distant history, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of ancient 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated. As we move on, we have a couple of books which were published in the 14th Century : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are not about the indian food that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the nobility of that period. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from the Middle-East, such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes created a torrent in recipe manuscripts, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. During the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Europe strove to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe books were starting to become popular as a result of increased literacy, people having more spare time and being a little richer. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
