The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes way back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, mostly, these old records were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making 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 wonderful and blissful. As we move on, there were some interesting books from the 14th Century ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are unconnected to the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the tables of the upper classes of that period. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused an eruption in publications on food, some of which are kept safe in private collections. During the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the best banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery publications are greatly in demand due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and having more disposable income. The revolution that is television brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
