The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existance of recipes far back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, these old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`. Later on, there were a couple of interesting cookery books dating from the fourteenth century : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are not about the spicy food that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of those days. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an increase in manuscripts on cookery, some of which still exist in private libraries. For the next few years, the upper-class families of the West tried to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery publications are increasing in popularity due to better eduction, more leisure time and being a little richer. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
