The History of Recipes
We can track the history of meal recipes far back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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. Later, we find some interesting books which appeared in the fourteenth century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are not about the indian food that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared for the rich and wealthy people of the period. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to a torrent in recipe manuscripts, many of which still exist in private libraries. For the centuries that followed, the families of Europe strove to serve up the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. However, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookbooks were greatly in demand mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money. The introduction of the TV gave us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
