The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, in fact as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient cook books were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made those who drank it feel wonderful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius recounts how the chefs of Roman times used many herbs and spices, including a few you will know for example basil, rue and parsley. Later, there were 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`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books are unconnected to the curry that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the nobility of the time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the holy land, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an eruption in publications on food, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. For the decades that followed, the rich and powerful families of the West strove to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes common in their social group. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery books were greatly in demand as a result of better eduction, more spare time and disposable income. The arrival of television gave us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
