The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existance of recipes way back into antiquity, in fact as far back as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, generally, these early cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are a few stone 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 blissful and exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were some interesting books which were published in the fourteenth century - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books have no connection with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared for the rich and powerful of that time. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the East, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused an outbreak in recipe manuscripts, most of which are kept safe in private collections. Over the following few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our site. |
