The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existance of recipes way back into the far past, in truth as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these early recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are a few 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 drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have two books which were published in the 14th Century : a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are unconnected to the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menus of the rich and powerful. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices was responsible for an eruption in books on cooking, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording the recipes of their peers. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking books are starting to become popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more free time and having more money to spend. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
