The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existance of recipes way back into history, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, these, old cook books were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a series of clay tablets in Sumerian describing 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 those who drank it feel `wonderful`. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, mint and parsley. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for a torrent in publications on food, most of which still exist in private libraries. Over the following few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. However, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery publications are in high demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
