The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of meal recipes back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of stone tablets in 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 making people feel wonderful and blissful. As we move on, there are a couple of recipe books from the 1300s ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these have no connection with the indian food that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the rich and wealthy people of those days. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new spices and herbs prompted an explosion in recipe publications, many of which still exist in private collections. During the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve the best banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe publications are highly popular due to better eduction, increased leisure time and being a little richer. The arrival of television brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site. |
