The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be found way back into distant history, in fact as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, these, ancient records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were some books which date from the fourteenth century ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these have no connection with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich people of that period. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like parsley and basil. These new culinary innovations led to an outbreak in publications on food, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. Over the next few centuries, the upper-class families of the West competed to offer the best banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
