The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of written recipes back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these old cook books were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 people feel `wonderful`. Later on, there were two interesting cookery books which were published in the 14th Century - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books have no connection with the curry that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the upper classes of those days. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from the East, including coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and spices led to an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private collections. For the next few years, the upper classes tried to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books are increasing in popularity as a result of increased literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
