The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of written recipes back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian describing 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 drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. Later, there are two interesting cookery books which date from the 1300s : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are unconnected to the curry that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of meals cooked for the upper classes of that time. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from Arab countries, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes created a torrent in publications on food, some of which are now in private libraries. For the decades that followed, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day. The arrival of television brought us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
