The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existance of recipes way back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, mostly, these early records were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 making those who drank it feel wonderful. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also describes how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know such as bay, mint and parsley. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were two interesting cookery books from the 1300s - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are nothing to do with the spicy food that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of meals served to the rich people of the time. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices was responsible for a surge in manuscripts on cookery, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. Over the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. When we get to the 20th century, cookery books were increasing in popularity due to higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and disposable income. The arrival of TV brings us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
