The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far back as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early recipes were just very basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics is a series of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 wonderful and blissful. Later on, we have a couple of interesting recipe books dating from the fourteenth century - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are nothing to do with the indian food that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared for the rich and powerful of that period. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. These new spices and herbs created a surge in recipe publications, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. For the next few years, the rich families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were at a premium. Even so, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes of the day. The introduction of the TV brings us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
