The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of written recipes way back into history, in truth as far as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, in the main part, these early cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are some stone tablets in ancient 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, wonderful and blissful`. As we move on, there were two interesting cookery books from the fourteenth century : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are nothing to do with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the tables of the rich and powerful. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an outbreak in recipe manuscripts, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. During the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West tried to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookery publications were increasing in popularity due to better eduction, people having increased free time and having more disposable income. The arrival of television brings us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
