The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes way back into the distant past, in fact as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early recipes were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to food historians is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, there are two books which appeared in the 14th Century - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books have no connection with the curry that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich and powerful of the time. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an eruption in manuscripts on food, many of which are now in private libraries. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the best banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications are in high demand, due to more people being able to read, people having more spare time and having more money. The TV revolution brings us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
