The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes far back into the distant past, at least as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, these, ancient recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are some stone 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 those who drank it feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius recounts how the Roman cooks made use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, fennel and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were two recipe books published in the fourteenth century - a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are unconnected to the spicy food that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the upper classes of the time. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created a torrent in cookery books, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. Over the next few centuries, the upper classes competed to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery books are in great demand, as a result of better eduction, people having increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
