The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be found back into history, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, generally, these ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some clay tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into starters, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of his times used many different aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, rue and asafoetida. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are some interesting books which date from the 1300s - a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are not about the indian food that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals served to the rich and powerful of those days. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new culinary innovations led to an increase in recipe manuscripts, many of which are now in private collections. Over the succeeding few centuries, the wealthy families of the West strove to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day. When we get to the 20th century, cook books were starting to become popular mostly as a result of better eduction, more free time and having more disposable income. The TV revolution gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
