The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes far back into ancient history, certainly as far as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these old recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are some 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 making drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient Romans made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, mint and asafoetida. Moving on, there were a couple of cookery books which date from the 14th Century : a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these have no connection with the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the menus of the upper classes of the time. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted an explosion in books on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private collections. During the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe books became popular. 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 recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery books are highly popular mostly due to more people being able to read, people having more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The revolution that is television gave us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
