The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existance of recipes far back into the far past, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, generally, these old recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking 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`. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find some recipe books from the 14th Century ; a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are unconnected to the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of meals served to the rich people of that time. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including basil and coriander. These new foods and tastes led to an eruption in manuscripts on food, most of which still exist in private cookery archives. Over the following few centuries, the powerful and rich houses competed to offer the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. However, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, cook books are in great demand, due to better eduction, more leisure time and having more disposable income. The arrival of TV gave us TV cookery programs and 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 just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
