The History of Recipes
We can read the history of `recipes` far back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient records were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of ancient tablets in 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 those who drank it feel `blissful`. Later on, we find a couple of books dating from the 1300s - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are nothing to do with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the tables of the upper classes of those days. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the East, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an outbreak in cookery books, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. For the next few years, the powerful and wealthy houses strove to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
