The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes far back into distant history, certainly as far as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, mostly, these old records were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel exhilarated and blissful. Later, there are two recipe books which appeared in the fourteenth century ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are unconnected to the indian food that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich people of that time. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like basil and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for a torrent in recipe publications, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. For the centuries that followed, the wealthy families of the West competed to offer the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. However, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes of the day. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
