The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existance of recipes way back into history, at least as far back as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. However, generally, these old records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few 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 anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. Later, there are two books published in the 1300s ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are not about the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of meals cooked for the rich. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from the holy land, including spices such as basil and coriander. These new culinary innovations prompted an increase in books on cookery, some of which still exist in private libraries. For the centuries that followed, the wealthy families of the West strove to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, verifying, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The arrival of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site. |
