The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existance of recipes back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, generally, these old cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 wonderful and blissful. During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were split into starters, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also informs us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, fennel and dill. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are a couple of recipe books which date from the fourteenth century : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menues of the upper classes of that period. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices was responsible for a torrent in recipe manuscripts, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. Over the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, recipe publications are highly popular mostly due to more people being able to read, people having increased free time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
