The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of written recipes way back into the far past, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, early cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are a few tablets in Sumerian 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 making anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move on, we have a couple of interesting cookery books published in the 1300s : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they are nothing to do with the indian food that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared by the chefs of the upper classes of the time. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for an outbreak in recipe manuscripts, many of which are kept safe in private collections. During the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Even so, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking books are increasing in popularity as a result of better eduction, leisure time and disposable income. The arrival of television brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
