The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be traced way back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, generally, these old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making 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 tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were a couple of books which appeared in the 14th Century : a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are unconnected to the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of meals cooked for the rich and wealthy people of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the holy lands, including basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused an eruption in books on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West strove to serve the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The TV revolution brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
