The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far back as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old recipes were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a series of tablets in Sumerian which show 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. Moving on, we have two interesting recipe books which date from the 14th Century - a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they have no connection with the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of meals prepared for the upper classes. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and tastes led to an outbreak in recipe manuscripts, some of which are now in private cookery archives. During the following few centuries, the rich families of Europe tried to offer the most exotic meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. However, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
