The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of written recipes back into history, in truth as far back as early Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these old recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts are some ancient tablets in ancient 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 people feel wonderful and blissful. As we move on, there are two interesting recipe books which appeared in the 1300s ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are unconnected to the indian curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and wealthy people of the period. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes caused an eruption in recipe books, many of which are kept safe in private collections. During the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
