The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of recipes far back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius recounts how the Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, mint and parsley. As we move on, there are two books published in the fourteenth century - a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are not about the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and powerful of that time. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from Arab cooking, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new spices and herbs led to an increase in books on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. During the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe publications are starting to become popular as a result of more people being able to read, more leisure time and disposable income. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
