The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existence of recipes way back into antiquity, in fact as far back as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius tells us how the early Romans used many different herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today such as bay, mint and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were some interesting books which appeared in the 1300s ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are unconnected to the indian food that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich people of that period. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused a torrent in recipe manuscripts, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. Over the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the most exotic meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery books were greatly in demand mostly as a result of better eduction, leisure time and disposable income. The introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
