The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be traced far back into ancient history, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. In practice though, these, old cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Closer to modern times, there are two recipe books which appeared in the 1300s - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are not about the indian curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals served to the rich and wealthy people of that period. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and herbs from Arab countries, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices created a torrent in recipe books, many of which still exist in private collections. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe competed to offer the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
