The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes far back into history, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts are a few tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking 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`. Later, we find a couple of recipe books published in the fourteenth century : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books have no connection with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared for the rich. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including coriander, parsley, and basil. These new herbs and spices was responsible for an explosion in recipe books, most of which still exist in private libraries. Over the following few centuries, the powerful and rich tried to serve the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookbooks are increasing in popularity due to more people being able to read, more leisure time and being a little richer. The introduction of television gave us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
