The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of meal recipes way back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, generally, these early recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking 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 `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, there are a couple of interesting recipe books which were published in the 14th Century ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these have no connection with the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of food eaten by the rich and wealthy people of those days. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including basil and coriander. These new culinary innovations prompted an explosion in books on cooking, most of which still exist in private libraries. For the next few years, the powerful families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe books are in high demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and disposable income. The introduction of the TV brought us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
