The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced way back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, generally, these ancient cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are a few stone tablets in 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 having made drinkers feel `blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient Romans used many herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise like thyme, mint and parsley. Later, we have some interesting books which date from the 14th Century : a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are not about the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menues of the rich and powerful of the period. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the East, such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an increase in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are kept safe in academic collections. During the following few hundred years, the rich families of Europe strove to offer the most exotic meals, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe books were greatly in demand mostly due to increased literacy, people having more free time and having more money to spend. The arrival of television brought us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
