The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of written cooking instructions way back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts are a few stone tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 having made those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, entrees and afters, something we still use today. He also recounts how the chefs of Roman times used a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, fennel and parsley. Moving on, there are a couple of books which were published in the 1300s : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are nothing to do with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared for the rich people of that time. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. During the following few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. However, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe books are starting to become popular mostly as a result of more people being able to read, increased leisure time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
