The History of Recipes
Food historians have found proof that recipes existed way back into the distant past, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, sadly, these old recipes were just basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few stone tablets in 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 drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are two books which were published in the 14th Century - a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are nothing to do with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the tables of the rich and powerful of those days. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from the Middle-East, including coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new tastes prompted a surge in books on cookery, some of which still exist in private collections. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of the West strove to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
