The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` back into the distant past, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, in the main part, these old cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which show 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, there are two interesting cookery books which appeared in the fourteenth century ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are not about the indian curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the menus of the rich and powerful of that time. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like parsley and basil. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an increase in books on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. For the decades that followed, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes common in their social group. The arrival of television brought us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
