The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes far back into the far past, in fact as far back as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are a few stone tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move on, there were some books dating from the fourteenth century : a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are nothing to do with the indian food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich and wealthy people of the period. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes prompted a surge in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. During the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West strove to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery books are greatly in demand due to better eduction, people having increased spare time and a general increase in wealth. The revolution that is television gave us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
