The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be observed back into the far past, in truth as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old cookbooks were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history 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 anyone who tried it feel `wonderful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few you will know like bay, rue and parsley. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, such as basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs prompted an outbreak in recipe manuscripts, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. Over the next few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve up the best banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the 1900s, cooking publications were increasing in popularity due to more people being able to read, more free time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of TV brings us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Kentucky Hot Brown Sandwich recipe.
