The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 drank it feel exhilarated. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he informs us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavours, including a few you will know for example bay, mint and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and herbs from the East, including coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and tastes prompted an outbreak in cookery books, most of which are now in private collections. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe tried to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
