The History of Recipes
We can track the history of written recipes back into antiquity, in fact as far back as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians are some ancient tablets in Sumerian describing 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 anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. Later on, there are some interesting books which were published in the fourteenth century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are unconnected to the indian food that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared for the upper classes of that time. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab countries, including coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to an eruption in recipe publications, the majority of which still exist in academic collections. For the next few years, the powerful families of Europe strove to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe publications were greatly in demand mostly as a result of more people being able to read, more leisure time and having more money. The introduction of the TV brought us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
