The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of recipes far back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, sadly, these early cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts are a few clay 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 making people feel `blissful`. Later, we find a couple of recipe books which date from the fourteenth century ; a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books are not about the curry that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the tables of the rich people of those days. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices created a torrent in manuscripts on food, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. For the centuries that followed, the families of Europe competed to serve the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
