The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced far back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, in the main part, these old cook books were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a series of tablets in Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are a couple of cookery books dating from the fourteenth century - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are nothing to do with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of that period. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused a surge in recipe books, some of which are now in private cookery archives. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of the West competed to lay on the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The arrival of TV brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
