The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existance of recipes back into the far past, in fact as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are some stone tablets in Sumerian 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 making anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have some interesting books which date from the 14th Century ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these have no connection with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food cooked for the rich and wealthy people of that time. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an outbreak in books on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private collections. Over the following few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the most exotic meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications are greatly in demand mostly due to better eduction, more free time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
