The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of written recipes far back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a series of clay 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 having made anyone who drank it feel `blissful`. As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the Romans used a wide range of herbs and spices, including some familiar names such as thyme, rue and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an eruption in recipe books, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. During the next few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to offer the most extravagent banquests, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the 20th century, cook books are in great demand, as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and having more money. The revolution that is television gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our site. |
