The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of `recipes` far back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, these, early cookbooks were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a collection of 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 anyone who drank it feel `blissful`. Later, we find a couple of recipe books dating from the 1300s - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are unconnected to the indian curry that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the upper classes of that time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused an eruption in books on cookery, the majority of which are now in private collections. For the centuries that followed, the powerful and rich houses competed to serve the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipes were at a premium. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
