The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existence of recipes way back into antiquity, certainly as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these early cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were a couple of interesting recipe books dating from the 1300s - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these have no connection with the spicy food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the nobility of that period. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a result cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The TV revolution 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 the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
