The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be tracked back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, these, early records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel exhilarated. Later on, there were some interesting books from the fourteenth century : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they have no connection with the indian food that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the rich and powerful of the time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for an explosion in recipe publications, the majority of which are now in private libraries. For the next few years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, verifying, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books were greatly in demand due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and being a little richer. The introduction of the TV brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
