The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be traced far back into the distant past, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are some ancient tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius recounts how the Roman chefs used a good variety of spices, including many that are still in use today such as bay, rue and asafoetida. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find a couple of interesting cookery books which appeared in the 1300s ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are not about the spicy food that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and powerful of that time. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes prompted a torrent in manuscripts on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. Over the following few centuries, the families of Europe tried to serve the most extravagent meals, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the 1900s, cookbooks were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, leisure time and having more money. The arrival of TV gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
