The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be observed far back into antiquity, at least as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, mostly, these old cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are some tablets in 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 making those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also describes how the cooks of Roman times made use of a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, mint and parsley. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find two interesting books which date from the 1300s ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are not about the spicy food that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared for the nobility of those days. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes led to a torrent in cookery books, many of which still exist in private collections. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the twentieth century, cook books are in high demand, mostly due to increased literacy, more spare time and having more money. The TV revolution gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
