The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of written recipes way back into the distant past, in fact as far back as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, early recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay 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 making people feel `wonderful`. As we move on, there are some interesting books which were published in the 1300s : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they are unconnected to the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared for the rich and powerful of the time. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from the East, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for an eruption in recipe books, most of which are kept safe in private collections. During the next few centuries, the powerful families of the West strove to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The revolution that is television brought us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
