The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of written recipes way back into ancient history, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early records were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians are a few stone 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 people feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef informs us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later on, we have some interesting books which date from the 14th Century : one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the wealthy. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the holy lands, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes created a surge in publications on food, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. For the centuries that followed, the rich families of Europe strove to offer the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, trying out, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking publications are greatly in demand mostly due to better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more money. The introduction of the TV brought us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
