The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of recipes back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Having said that, mostly, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 exhilarated and blissful. Later on, we have a couple of cookery books published in the 1300s : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books have no connection with the indian food that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the rich people of that period. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to an outbreak in recipe manuscripts, many of which are now in private libraries. For the centuries that followed, the wealthy families of Europe competed to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording the recipes of their peers. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
