The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes way back into the far past, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian describing 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 those who drank it feel wonderful. Later, we have a couple of interesting recipe books which appeared in the 1300s - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books are not about the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich and wealthy people of the time. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an increase in books on cookery, some of which are now in private collections. For the decades that followed, the upper-class families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking books are in high demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, more spare time and being a little richer. The arrival of television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
