The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existence of recipes back into the distant past, in truth as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early records were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the making 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. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also informs us how the Roman chefs used many different herbs and spices, including a few you will know like basil, rue and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are two interesting recipe books which appeared in the 14th Century - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books have no connection with the indian food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared for the upper classes of the period. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and herbs from the East, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and tastes created an outbreak in recipe publications, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. Over the next few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a result cooks and their recipes were at a premium. However, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe publications were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of increased literacy, more free time and having more disposable income. The introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
