The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to track the history of recipes way back into the far past, in fact as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, in the main part, these old recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. Moving on, we have some books dating from the fourteenth century ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the rich and powerful of the period. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the East, including spices like rosemary and coriander. These new herbs and spices led to a surge in manuscripts on food, many of which are now in private libraries. During the following few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe strove to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The revolution that is television brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
