The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes far back into antiquity, in truth as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, generally, these ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were split into appetizers, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also informs us how the Roman chefs used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today such as basil, mint and asafoetida. Closer to modern times, we find a couple of interesting cookery books which appeared in the 1300s : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are unconnected to the spicy food that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals eaten by the rich and wealthy people of the period. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to an eruption in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are now in private cookery archives. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses tried to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 1900s, cook books are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of more people being able to read, increased leisure time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
