The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` back into ancient history, in truth as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, these, old recipes were just basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to food historians are some clay tablets in Sumerian 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 having made anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Later, we have two books published in the 14th Century ; a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are nothing to do with the indian curry that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich and wealthy people of the period. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from Arab countries, such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to a surge in books on cooking, most of which still exist in private collections. For the decades that followed, the upper-class families of Europe tried to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. However, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day. The arrival of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
