The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. However, these, early cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians is a collection of tablets in ancient 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 drinkers feel `blissful`. Closer to modern times, we have a couple of interesting recipe books published in the fourteenth century ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are nothing to do with the indian curry that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menues of the rich people of that period. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the East, including spices like basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused a surge in recipe books, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
