The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, these, old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. Later, we have two interesting cookery books dating from the 14th Century ; one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are not about the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of food cooked for the wealthy. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including parsley and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to an increase in manuscripts on food, most of which are now in academic collections. For the centuries that followed, the rich families of Europe tried to lay on the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking publications are increasing in popularity due to better eduction, people having more leisure time and being a little richer. The introduction of the TV brought us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
