The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found way back into history, in truth as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. However, these, early records were just basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 blissful and exhilarated. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were two books published in the 1300s ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they have no connection with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the nobility of that period. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to an outbreak in recipe manuscripts, most of which still exist in academic collections. Over the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe tried to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the 20th century, cookery publications are starting to become popular as a result of better eduction, increased leisure time and disposable income. The arrival of TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
