The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes way back into history, in fact as far back into history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, generally, these old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel `wonderful`. As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including a few you will know for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. As we move on, there were some books which appeared in the fourteenth century - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of meals eaten by the upper classes. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the East, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to an increase in recipe publications, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. During the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe strove to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery publications are greatly in demand mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having increased free time and a general increase in wealth. The revolution that is television brings us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
