The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of `recipes` far back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are a couple of books which were published in the fourteenth century - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books have no connection with the curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals cooked for the rich and powerful of that period. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new herbs and spices caused an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which are now in academic collections. Over the following few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
