The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes way back into history, in fact as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, sadly, these ancient recipes were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians are some stone tablets in Sumerian 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 making those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Later, there were some interesting books which appeared in the 14th Century ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are unconnected to the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the tables of the upper classes of the time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the holy land, such as basil and coriander. These new spices and herbs caused an eruption in books on cookery, some of which are kept safe in private collections. For the centuries that followed, the rich and powerful families of Europe strove to offer the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The arrival of television brings us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
