The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes far back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were divided into starters, main course and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius recounts how the Roman cooks used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise like bay, rue and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find a couple of interesting books which date from the fourteenth century ; a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they are not about the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the menus of the nobility of that time. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices like parsley and basil. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for an increase in manuscripts on cookery, many of which are now in private libraries. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to serve up the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, cook books are in high demand, mostly due to better eduction, people having increased free time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
