The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes back into antiquity, certainly as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early cook books were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians are a few clay 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 anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into appetizers, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient chefs used a good variety of herbs, including some familiar names such as thyme, rue and dill. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are a couple of cookery books which were published in the 14th Century ; a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are not about the indian curry that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the menus of the rich people of that time. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab cooking, such as parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes created a torrent in recipe books, the majority of which are now in private collections. Over the next few centuries, the wealthy families of the West competed to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. However, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking books were highly popular as a result of more people being able to read, people having more free time and having more money to spend. The introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
