The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existence of recipes back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these early cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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. Later on, there are a couple of interesting cookery books which were published in the 14th Century ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are unconnected to the indian food that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals served to the upper classes of the period. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from the East, including parsley and basil. These new culinary innovations prompted an eruption in publications on food, many of which still exist in private collections. For the centuries that followed, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The introduction of the TV brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
