The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be observed far back into the far past, at least as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further. However, generally, these ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to academics are some ancient 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 making anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius created some documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef describes how the Roman cooks made use of many different herbs, including a few you will know for example basil, mint and dill. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find two recipe books which appeared in the 1300s - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books have no connection with the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the rich and powerful of those days. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the East, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices caused an outbreak in recipe publications, some of which are now in private collections. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful and rich competed to offer the most exotic meals, and as a result chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers. When we get to the 1900s, cookbooks were in great demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, more spare time and having more disposable income. |
