The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions way back into history, in fact as far into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, generally, these early cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts are some stone tablets in Sumerian which show 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 blissful. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also recounts how the ancient cooks used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, rue and asafoetida. Moving on, there were some interesting books dating from the 14th Century ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are unconnected to the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of that period. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, such as parsley and basil. These new foods and spices led to an eruption in publications on food, some of which still exist in academic collections. During the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe strove to offer the best banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery publications are greatly in demand due to increased literacy, people having more spare time and disposable income. The revolution that is television brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
