The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, these, old recipes were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount 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 tried it feel wonderful. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient chefs used a wide range of herbs, including a few you will know for example bay, rue and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices created a surge in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. During the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses tried to serve the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day. The revolution that is television gave us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
