The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existence of recipes far back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, mostly, these ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some tablets in Sumerian describing the making 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, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, we have a couple of interesting books from the fourteenth century - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are not about the curry that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of that period. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted a torrent in publications on food, some of which are now in private cookery archives. For the next few years, the rich families of the West competed with each other to offer the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking publications were in great demand, due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and being a little richer. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
