The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existance of recipes back into history, certainly as far back as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, generally, these early cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making 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 drank it feel exhilarated. Later, we find a couple of books published in the fourteenth century - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are nothing to do with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich people of the time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations created a surge in cookery books, most of which still exist in private cookery archives. For the decades that followed, the powerful and wealthy strove to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. The arrival of television gave us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
