The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be tracked way back into history, certainly as far back into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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. Later, we find two interesting cookery books which appeared in the 1300s - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they have no connection with the indian curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich and powerful of that time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to an outbreak in books on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private collections. For the decades that followed, the powerful and wealthy houses tried to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes common in their social group. The arrival of television gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
