The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existence of recipes way back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, generally, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of Roman times made use of many different spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, rue and dill. Later, we have a couple of recipe books which date from the fourteenth century - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are nothing to do with the indian food that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals eaten by the rich and wealthy people of that time. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the East, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and spices caused a surge in recipe manuscripts, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. For the centuries that followed, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve the most exotic meals, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking publications are highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased spare time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of television brings us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
