The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes way back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts 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 making anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. Later, there are a couple of books dating from the 1300s - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are unconnected to the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the rich people of the time. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted an eruption in recipe manuscripts, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. For the centuries that followed, the powerful families of the West strove to lay on the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipes became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. The arrival of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
