The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes way back into the far past, in fact as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, these, ancient cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, something we still use today. This early Roman chef describes how the Romans used a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, fennel and asafoetida. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were a couple of interesting books dating from the 14th Century ; a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are unconnected to the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menues of the rich people of that period. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from Arab countries, such as parsley and basil. These new culinary innovations caused an eruption in cookery books, many of which are now in academic collections. Over the following few hundred years, the upper classes competed with each other to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery books are in great demand, mostly due to more people being able to read, people having more free time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
