The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef tells us how the chefs of Roman times made use of many spices, including some familiar names such as thyme, rue and parsley. Closer to modern times, we find a couple of interesting books dating from the fourteenth century ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are nothing to do with the indian curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the menues of the rich people of the period. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including rosemary and coriander. These new foods and tastes prompted a surge in recipe books, many of which are kept safe in private collections. During the next few hundred years, the powerful and rich competed with each other to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks are in high demand, due to more people being able to read, more leisure time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
