The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes way back into ancient history, certainly as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, sadly, these ancient records were just very basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making 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 have a couple of interesting recipe books published in the fourteenth century : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are nothing to do with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the nobility of those days. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices like basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations prompted a surge in books on cooking, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. For the decades that followed, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes common in their social group. The arrival of television brought us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site. |
