The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of meal recipes way back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking 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 tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also informs us how the Roman chefs used many different aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today like basil, mint and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from the East, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices created an eruption in books on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private collections. During the following few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe tried to serve up the best banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The arrival of television brings us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
