The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of meal recipes way back into distant history, certainly as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, these, ancient cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics are some ancient tablets in ancient 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 wonderful and blissful. As we move on, there are some books from the fourteenth century - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are unconnected to the curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food cooked for the nobility of that time. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations was responsible for an eruption in manuscripts on food, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. During the next few centuries, the powerful families of Europe strove to serve up the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe publications were greatly in demand due to more people being able to read, people having increased free time and having more disposable income. The revolution that is television brought us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
