The History of Recipes
Historians have found proof that recipes existed back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these early cook books were just very simple pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians are a few tablets in the Sumerian language 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 tried it feel blissful. Closer to modern times, there are a couple of recipe books from the 1300s ; a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are unconnected to the curry that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals eaten by the rich people of the period. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to an eruption in books on cookery, some of which are now in academic collections. During the next few centuries, the powerful and wealthy tried to lay on the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes of the day. The revolution that is television gave us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
