The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be found far back into history, certainly as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also recounts how the cooks of Roman times made use of many herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, mint and dill. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find a couple of interesting recipe books which appeared in the 1300s ; a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these have no connection with the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of meals eaten by the upper classes of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the East, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted an explosion in recipe manuscripts, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and rich houses competed with each other to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. When we get to the 20th century, cook books were in high demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, leisure time and having more money to spend. The arrival of TV gave us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
