The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of written recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these early records were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians are some stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel exhilarated. As we move on, we have two interesting recipe books from the 1300s : one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books have no connection with the indian food that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals on the tables of the nobility of the period. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to an explosion in recipe publications, most of which still exist in academic collections. During the next few centuries, the rich families of Europe tried to serve up the best banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe books were starting to become popular due to more people being able to read, leisure time and having more money. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
