The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existence of recipes way back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Moving on, we have two recipe books from the 14th Century : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they have no connection with the curry that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals served to the rich people of the time. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations was responsible for an explosion in manuscripts on food, the majority of which still exist in academic collections. During the following few centuries, the rich families of Europe competed to serve up the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe books were in great demand, due to more people being able to read, people having more leisure time and being a little richer. The revolution that is television brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
