The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of `recipes` back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. However, generally, these ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a series of tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation 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. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were split into appetizers, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient Romans made use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, fennel and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were some recipe books which were published in the 1300s ; a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are unconnected to the curry that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals eaten by the rich and powerful of that period. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the holy land, such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created a torrent in manuscripts on cooking, most of which are now in private cookery archives. Over the following few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to offer the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery publications are in great demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, more free time and having more disposable income. The introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
