The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be found back into distant history, at least as far back as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a series of clay 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 anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius tells us how the cooks of Roman times made use of a wide range of spices, including a few you will know such as thyme, fennel and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have a couple of interesting books which were published in the 1300s ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books are unconnected to the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and powerful of the period. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an eruption in books on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. Over the next few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent meals, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking publications were starting to become popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money to spend. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
