The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes far back into the far past, at least as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are a few stone tablets in Sumerian describing 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 people feel blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find two recipe books which appeared in the 14th Century - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are unconnected to the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of meals eaten by the upper classes of the time. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cooking, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes was responsible for a torrent in cookery books, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and rich competed to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. However, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookbooks are highly popular mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having more spare time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
