The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of written cooking instructions back into the distant past, in truth as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which show the baking 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 `blissful`. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the early Romans used many different aromatic flavours, including a few you will know like thyme, fennel and dill. Moving on, there are two books which appeared in the 1300s ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are unconnected to the curry that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the menues of the nobility of the time. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. These new foods and spices caused an eruption in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are now in private cookery archives. During the following few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most exotic meals, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe publications were starting to become popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, more spare time and being a little richer. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
