The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of written recipes way back into distant history, in fact as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made anyone who drank it feel `blissful`. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are two books from the 1300s - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are not about the indian food that is popular today, but instead 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 new foods, spices and herbs from the East, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted a torrent in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. Over the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the best banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
