The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existance of recipes back into the distant past, at least as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, generally, these old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to academics are some stone tablets in 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 making drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are two recipe books which date from the 1300s : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are unconnected to the curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the nobility of that period. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many spices and herbs from the Middle-East, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices prompted an eruption in manuscripts on food, some of which still exist in private collections. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe books are in great demand, mostly due to increased literacy, more free time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our site. |
