The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes far back into the distant past, in truth as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, mostly, these early recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are some 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 making anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are some books published in the 14th Century - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are unconnected to the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of meals served to the rich and wealthy people of the period. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from the East, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new culinary innovations prompted an eruption in books on cooking, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. Over the following few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The arrival of TV brought us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our site. |
