The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be found back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, these, old cookbooks were just basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `wonderful`. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are two interesting cookery books which date from the 1300s - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are unconnected to the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of food served to the upper classes. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations created an eruption in manuscripts on cooking, most of which still exist in private collections. Over the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West tried to serve the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. When we get to the 20th century, cooking books were increasing in popularity mostly due to more people being able to read, leisure time and having more money. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site. |
