The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes back into antiquity, certainly as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just primitive pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 drank it feel wonderful and blissful. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of Roman times used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few you will know for example basil, rue and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for a torrent in recipe manuscripts, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe competed to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the arrival of the 20th century, recipe publications were highly popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, more free time and having more money to spend. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
