The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into antiquity, in fact as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians are some clay tablets in 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 making anyone who tried it feel blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also describes how the Romans used a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, fennel and dill. Moving on, we find some books which were published in the 14th Century : one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are nothing to do with the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of the period. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the holy lands, including basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted an outbreak in recipe books, most of which are now in private libraries. During the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses strove to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the 1900s, cook books are greatly in demand mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more money. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
