The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of recipes way back into the far past, in fact as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of 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 and blissful. Closer to modern times, we have some interesting books which date from the 14th Century ; a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are nothing to do with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food served to the rich and wealthy people of that time. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cooking, such as rosemary and coriander. These new foods and tastes created a surge in recipe manuscripts, many of which are now in academic collections. During the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. However, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on this site. |
