The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be tracked back into the far past, in fact as far as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, old recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making 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 blissful and exhilarated. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have two books which appeared in the fourteenth century : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are nothing to do with the curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the menues of the upper classes of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations was responsible for a surge in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are now in academic collections. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications are starting to become popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money to spend. The TV revolution brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
