The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics are some ancient 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 drinkers feel `blissful`. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also informs us how the ancient Romans made use of many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, mint and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cooking, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs created a torrent in manuscripts on cooking, most of which still exist in academic collections. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of Europe strove to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes of the day. The TV revolution brought us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
