The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes far back into the far past, in fact as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, mostly, these early cookbooks were just primitive pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are two interesting books published in the fourteenth century ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are nothing to do with the indian curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared for the rich people of that period. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from Arab cooking, including rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes led to an outbreak in recipe books, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. However, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The TV revolution brought us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
