The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of written recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, generally, these ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians are some tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel exhilarated. As we move on, we have a couple of cookery books published in the fourteenth century : one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are not about the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the menus of the rich people of that period. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices prompted an increase in recipe publications, most of which are now in private cookery archives. During the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe competed to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. The arrival of television brings us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
