The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existence of recipes far back into ancient history, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, sadly, these ancient recipes were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were two interesting books from the 1300s : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they have no connection with the indian curry that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menus of the rich and wealthy people of those days. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the East, such as basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations led to an explosion in recipe books, the majority of which are now in private collections. Over the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West competed with each other to serve the best banquets, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that cookery and cookery books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and publishing popular recipes of the day. The introduction of television gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
