The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of `recipes` way back into the distant past, at least as far into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. However, these, early cookbooks were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 drinkers feel `wonderful`. As we move on, there are some recipe books which appeared in the 1300s : a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are nothing to do with the curry that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared by the cooks of the nobility of those days. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and herbs from Arab cooking, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for a surge in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which are now in private collections. During the next few centuries, the powerful families of the West competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cooking and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe books are in great demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, more free time and a general increase in wealth. The revolution that is television brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
