The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of written recipes far back into antiquity, certainly as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these old recipes were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to academics are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Closer to modern times, there are a couple of recipe books which date from the 1300s - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are unconnected to the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of meals served to the nobility of the period. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to an eruption in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of the West competed to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe books are highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, leisure time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
