The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked way back into history, at least as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some tablets in 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 drinkers feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the Roman chefs used many different herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise like thyme, rue and parsley. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices prompted an increase in books on cookery, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. Over the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most exotic banquets, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. When we get to the 1900s, cookery publications are in high demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more free time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of TV brings us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
