The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of `recipes` far back into history, in truth as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cook books were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of 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 wonderful and blissful. As we move on, we find two interesting recipe books published in the 14th Century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books have no connection with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of food served to the upper classes of those days. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an outbreak in recipe manuscripts, many of which still exist in private libraries. During the next few centuries, the powerful and rich houses tried to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the 20th century, cook books were increasing in popularity as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and being a little richer. The revolution that is television gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
