The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed way back into antiquity, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 making drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. Later, we have two recipe books dating from the fourteenth century ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books are unconnected to the spicy food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of meals cooked for the rich and wealthy people of the period. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like basil and coriander. These new herbs and spices created an eruption in manuscripts on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. For the decades that followed, the rich families of Europe competed to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking publications are in great demand, mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased free time and disposable income. The arrival of television brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
