The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existence of recipes far back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians are a few 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 drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were some books which appeared in the 1300s ; one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are unconnected to the indian curry that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the menus of the upper classes of those days. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted an eruption in recipe books, the majority of which are now in academic collections. Over the next few centuries, the upper classes strove to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The introduction of television gave us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
