The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of meal recipes back into the far past, at least as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `wonderful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are some interesting books published in the 1300s : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are unconnected to the spicy food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of meals prepared for the rich and wealthy people of the time. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from the East, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices prompted an eruption in books on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private collections. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of the West strove to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The TV revolution brought us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Popeye's Biscuits Janet recipe.
