The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existence of recipes far back into distant history, certainly as far as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, these, ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians are some clay 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 making anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find a couple of cookery books which were published in the fourteenth century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are nothing to do with the indian food that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the menues of the nobility of those days. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused a surge in recipe publications, the majority of which still exist in private collections. Over the next few centuries, the powerful and rich competed to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookbooks are highly popular mostly as a result of more people being able to read, more leisure time and having more money. The introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
