The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existence of recipes far back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these old records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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 drank it feel `wonderful`. Moving on, there are some recipe books from the fourteenth century ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these have no connection with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared for the upper classes. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including basil and coriander. These new culinary innovations prompted an explosion in books on cooking, some of which are now in private collections. During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of Europe competed to offer the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The revolution that is television brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
