The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be traced far back into the far past, at least as far as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, these, early recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `blissful`. Later, there were a couple of cookery books dating from the 14th Century - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are not about the curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the menus of the rich people of that period. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from Arab countries, including coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to an increase in manuscripts on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. For the decades that followed, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. However, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day. The arrival of television brings us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
