The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existance of recipes back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, early cookbooks were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius compiled a few documents detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius tells us how the chefs of Roman times made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including some familiar names such as basil, fennel and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are a couple of cookery books dating from the fourteenth century ; a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are unconnected to the indian food that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of the time. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like rosemary and coriander. These new culinary innovations caused an eruption in recipe publications, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. Over the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West competed to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking books were highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money to spend. The introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site. |
