The History of Recipes
Food historians have found proof that recipes existed far back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find some books which appeared in the fourteenth century ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books have no connection with the indian curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of meals cooked for the wealthy. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the holy land, including spices like parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes led to an outbreak in books on cookery, many of which are now in private collections. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses strove to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. However, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on this site. |
