The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes far back into distant history, in truth as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the early Romans made use of many different herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, mint and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted an explosion in recipe books, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. For the next few years, the powerful and wealthy tried to offer the best banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing the recipes of their peers. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
