The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be found way back into distant history, certainly as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts are some clay tablets in ancient 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 having made drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were a couple of interesting recipe books which date from the 1300s : a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are unconnected to the indian curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared by the chefs of the nobility of the time. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted an eruption in books on cooking, many of which still exist in private collections. Over the following few centuries, the upper-class families of the West competed with each other to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing recipes common in their social group. When we get to the 1900s, cookery publications were in high demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more spare time and disposable income. The arrival of TV brings us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
