The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be observed way back into history, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics are some stone tablets in ancient 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 having made people feel blissful. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were two interesting books which date from the 1300s - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are not about the curry that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and powerful of the period. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new tastes caused an increase in publications on food, most of which still exist in academic collections. Over the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West competed with each other to serve the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. When we get to the 1900s, cookery publications were in high demand, mostly due to more people being able to read, leisure time and having more disposable income. The arrival of TV brings us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
