The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be observed way back into distant history, in truth as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 making anyone who tried it feel `wonderful`. Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents which described recipes cooked by the Romans. He recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also recounts how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, rue and dill. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were two interesting recipe books which date from the 1300s ; one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books have no connection with the curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food eaten by the upper classes of that time. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices created an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which still exist in academic collections. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most exotic banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that formal cookery and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes of the day. When we get to the twentieth century, cookery publications were starting to become popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more free time and having more money. The TV revolution brings us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
