The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of written recipes back into antiquity, in fact as far as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, these, early records were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are some clay tablets in Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel exhilarated. Later, there are two books from the 1300s - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these have no connection with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared for the rich and powerful of those days. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an outbreak in publications on food, most of which still exist in private collections. For the decades that followed, the powerful families of Europe strove to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking books were starting to become popular due to better eduction, more free time and having more disposable income. The arrival of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
