The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be observed back into antiquity, at least as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian which show 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have some recipe books from the fourteenth century ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are unconnected to the indian food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of meals served to the rich and powerful of that period. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including parsley and basil. These new foods and spices prompted an eruption in recipe manuscripts, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. Over the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Europe competed to offer the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes of the day. The introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
