The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existance of recipes way back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later, there were two recipe books from the 14th Century ; a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these books are unconnected to the spicy food that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the rich and powerful of that time. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including parsley and basil. These new spices and herbs caused an eruption in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are now in private cookery archives. For the centuries that followed, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed to serve up the best banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
