The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be traced way back into history, certainly as far as early Egypt, and maybe further still. However, in the main part, these old records were just primitive pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics is a series of clay tablets in Sumerian 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 making people feel exhilarated. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were a couple of cookery books which were published in the 14th Century ; a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are not about the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the menus of the nobility of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including rosemary and coriander. These new herbs and spices caused an increase in books on cookery, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West competed to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe publications really came of age. 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 popular recipes of the day. The TV revolution brings us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
