The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existence of recipes way back into history, in fact as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 anyone who tried it feel blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were some books dating from the 14th Century - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books have no connection with the indian curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and wealthy people of the period. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new tastes led to an outbreak in recipe books, many of which still exist in academic collections. Over the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe strove to serve the best banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes common in their social group. The introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
