The History of Recipes
We can track the history of written recipes back into the distant past, in fact as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Having said that, mostly, these ancient recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian describing 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 those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, there are a couple of recipe books dating from the 14th Century ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are nothing to do with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals served to the rich people of that time. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab countries, such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted a surge in publications on food, most of which are now in academic collections. For the centuries that followed, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes of the day. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
