The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of `recipes` far back into the far past, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, these, early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a series of clay 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 drank it feel blissful. Later, we find two books dating from the 1300s ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are unconnected to the spicy food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of food eaten by the nobility of those days. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an eruption in cookery books, some of which still exist in private libraries. For the decades that followed, the powerful and rich tried to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. However, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes common in their social group. The TV revolution gave us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
