The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked way back into distant history, in fact as far as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are some 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 having made those who drank it feel blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef tells us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, mint and asafoetida. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are two recipe books published in the 1300s ; a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are unconnected to the spicy food that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared by the cooks of the upper classes of that time. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. These new culinary innovations caused a torrent in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are now in private libraries. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, recipe publications were in great demand, as a result of more people being able to read, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
