The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of written recipes back into antiquity, certainly as far back as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, these, ancient records were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 drinkers feel exhilarated. Later, there are a couple of interesting recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food served to the rich people of that period. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from the holy land, including coriander, parsley, and basil. These new culinary innovations prompted an increase in publications on food, some of which are now in private collections. For the decades that followed, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes of the day. The arrival of television brought us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site. |
