The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts are a few clay tablets in ancient 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 drinkers feel `blissful`. Later on, we have two recipe books dating from the 1300s - a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books have no connection with the spicy food that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of meals eaten by the upper classes of those days. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, many of which still exist in private libraries. For the centuries that followed, the upper-class families of Europe competed to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
