The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of `recipes` back into history, in fact as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, mostly, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making 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 `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move on, there are a couple of books which were published in the 14th Century - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they have no connection with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the upper classes. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an explosion in recipe publications, many of which are now in private cookery archives. During the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe publications are starting to become popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and disposable income. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
