The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be tracked far back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, sadly, these old records were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language which show the baking 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 drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of his times used a wide range of herbs and spices, including some familiar names for example bay, mint and parsley. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find a couple of interesting books which were published in the fourteenth century - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are not about the indian food that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals eaten by the rich and powerful of that period. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new spices and herbs led to an increase in publications on food, most of which still exist in private cookery archives. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and wealthy competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers. When we get to the 20th century, cook books were in great demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, people having increased leisure time and disposable income. The TV revolution gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
