The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of written recipes back into ancient history, in truth as far as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these early cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians are a few clay tablets in Sumerian describing 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 drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Closer to modern times, we have a couple of interesting books published in the 1300s : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are not about the indian curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich and powerful. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused a torrent in recipe books, many of which are kept safe in private collections. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
