The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of written recipes far back into the far past, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, these, early records were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian describing the making 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 wonderful. Later on, we find some recipe books published in the 14th Century ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books have no connection with the indian food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the upper classes of the period. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the holy lands, including rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an explosion in recipe publications, most of which are now in private cookery archives. For the centuries that followed, the powerful and rich competed with each other to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes of the day. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
