The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked far back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, generally, these ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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, wonderful and blissful`. During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius assembled some documents which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef describes how the chefs of Roman times used a wide range of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, mint and dill. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are a couple of interesting cookery books published in the 14th Century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are not about the indian curry that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the rich and powerful of that period. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from the Middle-East, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an increase in books on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a result cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, recipe publications were increasing in popularity as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
