The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to track the history of recipes back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some 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 blissful and exhilarated. As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the Roman chefs made use of many different herbs and spices, including some familiar names for example basil, mint and parsley. Moving on, there are a couple of interesting books dating from the fourteenth century ; a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books have no connection with the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the tables of the rich and powerful. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including basil and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices created an outbreak in recipe manuscripts, some of which are now in private libraries. During the following few centuries, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to offer the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe publications were in great demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The revolution that is television brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site. |
