The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes way back into ancient history, certainly as far back as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, these, ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of ancient tablets in ancient 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 drinkers feel blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius tells us how the cooks of his times made use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few you will know like thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later, we have a couple of interesting recipe books which appeared in the fourteenth century ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are unconnected to the indian food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of that period. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new herbs and spices led to an eruption in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. Over the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. When we get to the 1900s, cookery publications are in high demand, mostly due to more people being able to read, more spare time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of TV brings us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
