The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of `recipes` way back into history, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old cook books were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find some interesting books dating from the 1300s : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are not about the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of food served to the upper classes. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to an increase in books on cookery, some of which are now in private libraries. Over the following few hundred years, the families of Europe strove to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
