The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` back into the far past, in truth as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, sadly, these ancient recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking 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 wonderful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into starters, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, rue and parsley. Later, we have two interesting recipe books dating from the 14th Century ; a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the upper classes of the period. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as basil and coriander. These new foods and spices was responsible for a torrent in books on cooking, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, verifying, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. When we get to the 20th century, cook books are highly popular due to increased literacy, leisure time and disposable income. The arrival of TV gave us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
