The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` way back into history, in fact as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. In practice though, in the main part, these old records were just simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient cooks used many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, rue and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an eruption in books on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. For the next few years, the upper-class families of the West strove to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery publications were starting to become popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and having more disposable income. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
