The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existence of recipes far back into distant history, at least as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, these, ancient recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian 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 those who drank it feel wonderful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find two interesting books which were published in the 1300s - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these have no connection with the indian curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the tables of the upper classes of the time. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the holy land, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an explosion in books on cookery, the majority of which still exist in academic collections. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The introduction of television gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
