The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existence of recipes back into the far past, in truth as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 people feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also recounts how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, fennel and dill. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted an increase in manuscripts on food, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. Over the following few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve up the most exotic banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications are increasing in popularity due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and disposable income. The introduction of television brings us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
