The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of clay tablets in Sumerian describing the making 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 exhilarated and blissful. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef describes how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs, including many that are still in use today such as basil, fennel and dill. Moving on, there are a couple of cookery books dating from the 14th Century - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are unconnected to the curry that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of the period. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including coriander, parsley, and basil. These new herbs and spices prompted an eruption in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. During the following few centuries, the powerful families of the West competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe books are highly popular due to more people being able to read, more leisure time and disposable income. The revolution that is television brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
