The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be observed way back into the distant past, at least as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient records were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a series of clay 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 tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are two interesting books dating from the 1300s : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books have no connection with the spicy food that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of meals served to the nobility of that period. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes led to an explosion in books on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of the West competed with each other to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and cookery books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes of the day. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe books are in high demand, mostly due to more people being able to read, more spare time and a general increase in wealth. The TV revolution brought us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
