The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes way back into antiquity, certainly as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these old records were just very simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move on, there were two interesting books dating from the 14th Century - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books are nothing to do with the curry that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the menues of the rich people of the period. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the holy land, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and spices caused a surge in publications on food, some of which still exist in private libraries. During the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The revolution that is television brings us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
