The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be traced way back into antiquity, in fact as far back as early Egypt, and maybe further still. However, generally, these ancient recipes were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians is a series of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel wonderful. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius also recounts how the early Romans used many herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were some interesting books which appeared in the 14th Century ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food cooked for the rich people of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the holy lands, including basil and coriander. These new foods and spices created a surge in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are kept safe in private collections. Over the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. When we get to the 20th century, cookery books were greatly in demand mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more spare time and having more money to spend. The arrival of TV brings us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
