The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes way back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are a few tablets in Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are a couple of recipe books dating from the 14th Century : one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these have no connection with the indian food that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the tables of the rich people of the time. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the East, such as basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices prompted an explosion in recipe publications, many of which are now in academic collections. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful families of the West competed to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
