The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of recipes back into antiquity, in truth as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, sadly, these old recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics is a series of stone tablets in 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 anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. Moving on, there are a couple of interesting cookery books which appeared in the 14th Century ; a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of food cooked for the rich and powerful of that time. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab cooking, such as rosemary and coriander. These new spices and herbs led to an outbreak in manuscripts on food, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of the West tried to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. Even so, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
