The History of Recipes
We can track the history of written recipes back into distant history, at least as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts is a series of tablets in ancient 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 drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find some books which were published in the 1300s ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books are not about the spicy food that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the menus of the nobility of those days. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the holy lands, such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused a torrent in books on cooking, most of which are now in private cookery archives. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful and rich strove to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
