The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existance of recipes way back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these early records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the making 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 `wonderful`. Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius recounts how the chefs of Roman times made use of many different spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, mint and parsley. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we have two interesting books published in the 1300s - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they have no connection with the curry that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the rich. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, some of which are now in academic collections. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking books are in high demand, as a result of better eduction, increased leisure time and having more money. The TV revolution brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
