The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be tracked back into history, at least as far as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, mostly, these old cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians are a few tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 exhilarated. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are two interesting books which were published in the 14th Century ; a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are not about the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food eaten by the nobility of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from the Middle-East, including basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused an increase in manuscripts on food, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West competed with each other to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes of the day. The TV revolution brought us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
