The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to track the history of recipes far back into history, in fact as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, these, early cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 those who drank it feel `wonderful`. Moving on, we find some books which date from the 1300s : a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are unconnected to the spicy food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the nobility of the time. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an eruption in manuscripts on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. During the following few centuries, the families of Europe strove to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
