The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existance of recipes way back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount 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 drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move on, there are two interesting books which appeared in the 1300s - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are unconnected to the curry that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of food cooked for the nobility of the time. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs led to an eruption in publications on food, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. During the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe publications are in high demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, leisure time and being a little richer. The revolution that is television brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site. |
