The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced way back into antiquity, at least as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Moving on, there were a couple of interesting cookery books which appeared in the 1300s ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are unconnected to the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared for the nobility of the time. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as basil and coriander. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an eruption in recipe manuscripts, some of which still exist in private collections. During the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the most extravagent meals, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery books were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and having more disposable income. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
