The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes back into antiquity, at least as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, these early records were just very simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a series of stone 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 having made people feel exhilarated and blissful. Moving on, there are two recipe books dating from the fourteenth century : one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are unconnected to the indian food that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the menues of the rich and powerful of the time. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices prompted a torrent in recipe publications, many of which are now in private libraries. During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of the West competed to offer the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The revolution that is television brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
