The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of meal recipes way back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, generally, these old recipes were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation 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, there were a couple of interesting cookery books which date from the 14th Century - a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menus of the rich and wealthy people of that period. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the holy land, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices created a surge in publications on food, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. During the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West tried to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. The arrival of television brings us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
