The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be found back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of his times used many different herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, fennel and dill. Moving on, there are a couple of recipe books published in the 1300s ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they are nothing to do with the indian curry that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the wealthy. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from the holy land, such as rosemary and coriander. These new spices and herbs was responsible for an outbreak in books on cooking, the majority of which are now in private libraries. During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of the West competed to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Even so, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the 1900s, cooking books were highly popular as a result of better eduction, more free time and disposable income. The revolution that is television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
