The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cook books were just primitive pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 drank it feel blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of Roman times made use of many different spices and herbs, including some familiar names like basil, mint and asafoetida. Moving on, there are a couple of interesting cookery books which appeared in the 1300s ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are nothing to do with the curry that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared for the upper classes of the period. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes prompted a surge in manuscripts on food, most of which are now in private libraries. During the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe tried to serve the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe publications are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of more people being able to read, increased leisure time and disposable income. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
