The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of recipes way back into antiquity, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the preparation 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 `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Moving on, there were some interesting books from the 1300s : one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are nothing to do with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of that time. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices was responsible for a surge in recipe manuscripts, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. During the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery books were greatly in demand due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and being a little richer. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our site. |
