The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes far back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. However, generally, these old cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are some 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 tried it feel exhilarated. Later, we find a couple of recipe books which were published in the 1300s ; a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are unconnected to the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menues of the rich people of the time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices such as basil and coriander. These new foods and spices was responsible for an eruption in cookery books, some of which are now in academic collections. For the decades that followed, the powerful and wealthy competed to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes common in their social group. The arrival of television gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
