The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes far back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these old recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are some ancient 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 making anyone who drank it feel blissful. Closer to modern times, we find a couple of interesting cookery books which date from the 1300s ; a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are nothing to do with the indian curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals served to the nobility of that period. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for a surge in books on cookery, many of which still exist in academic collections. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and rich tried to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookbooks are increasing in popularity mostly due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and having more money to spend. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
