The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these ancient records were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language describing the preparation 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 exhilarated and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are a couple of interesting books from the fourteenth century - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are not about the spicy food that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the tables of the rich. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. These new herbs and spices caused a torrent in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which still exist in private collections. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
