The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be observed back into antiquity, at least as far as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to historians is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel wonderful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he recounts how the meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he recounts how the Romans made use of a good variety of spices, including many that are still in use today such as bay, mint and parsley. Later on, we find a couple of recipe books which were published in the 1300s ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books have no connection with the indian curry that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of meals served to the rich and wealthy people of that period. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the Middle-East, such as basil and coriander. These new foods and spices led to an explosion in recipe books, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. For the next few years, the families of Europe competed to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookbooks were highly popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, more free time and having more money. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cooks 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 massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
