The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of written recipes back into distant history, certainly as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel blissful. As we move on, we have a couple of interesting recipe books from the 14th Century - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books have no connection with the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of meals eaten by the rich and powerful of those days. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an explosion in books on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. During the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The arrival of television brought us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
