The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existence of recipes back into the distant past, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, these, early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were a couple of interesting cookery books published in the fourteenth century ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are nothing to do with the spicy food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of the period. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices like parsley and basil. These new culinary innovations prompted a surge in cookery books, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. Over the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and cookery books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, testing, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The introduction of television brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
