The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be observed back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, generally, these early cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which describe the baking 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`. Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the Roman chefs made use of a good variety of herbs, including a few you will know such as basil, fennel and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of the West strove to serve up the most exotic meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications were greatly in demand mostly due to better eduction, increased leisure time and having more money. The TV revolution brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
