The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes back into distant history, in fact as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cook books were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 `blissful`. As we move on, there are a couple of books which were published in the 1300s ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the rich and powerful of those days. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices such as basil and coriander. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an increase in recipe publications, some of which are kept safe in private collections. During the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing the recipes of their peers. 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 internet revolution, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site. |
