The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are a few stone tablets in Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are two recipe books published in the 14th Century ; a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are not about the spicy food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the tables of the nobility of that period. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including basil and coriander. These new foods and spices led to an increase in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. Over the next few centuries, the powerful families of the West competed to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
