The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early records were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient Romans made use of many herbs, including some familiar names for example basil, mint and parsley. As we move on, there were two interesting books which were published in the 14th Century ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these have no connection with the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich people of the period. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the holy lands, including basil and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes caused an explosion in books on cooking, most of which still exist in private libraries. During the following few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookery publications are in high demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and being a little richer. The arrival of television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
