The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existence of recipes way back into ancient history, in fact as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early records were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he recounts how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius recounts how the cooks of Roman times used a good variety of spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise like thyme, mint and dill. Closer to modern times, we have a couple of recipe books which date from the fourteenth century - a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books have no connection with the curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the menus of the nobility of that time. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the holy lands, including coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an explosion in publications on food, the majority of which are now in academic collections. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking publications are highly popular mostly due to better eduction, more leisure time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
