The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes far back into distant history, in fact as far back as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, we find some interesting books which were published in the 14th Century - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are not about the indian food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the rich and powerful of the period. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the holy lands, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new tastes created a torrent in recipe publications, most of which are now in private collections. For the next few years, the powerful and rich strove to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The introduction of the TV gave us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
