The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existance of recipes way back into the far past, in fact as far back as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, early records were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians are some tablets in the Sumerian language which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. He tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also describes how the early Romans used a wide range of herbs, including some familiar names like basil, fennel and dill. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the holy land, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused an increase in cookery books, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. Over the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking books are greatly in demand as a result of better eduction, people having increased spare time and having more money to spend. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
