The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed far back into distant history, certainly as far as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation 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`. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. He describes how the meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius informs us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of many different spices and herbs, including some familiar names like bay, rue and dill. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes created a surge in books on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy competed to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. By the arrival of the 1900s, cook books were highly popular due to better eduction, people having more spare time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
