The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be tracked far back into history, at least as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these old cook books were just primitive pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics is a series of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also describes how the Roman chefs used a good variety of herbs, including a few you will know like bay, rue and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to an explosion in books on cookery, some of which still exist in academic collections. During the next few centuries, the rich families of the West tried to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes became highly prized. However, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking publications were starting to become popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and disposable income. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
