The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` way back into distant history, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, these, old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation 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 wonderful. Later on, there were two interesting books which date from the 1300s - a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books have no connection with the spicy food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menus of the rich people of the period. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the East, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to an explosion in cookery books, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. For the next few years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking publications were starting to become popular as a result of more people being able to read, people having more spare time and having more disposable income. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
