The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of written recipes way back into the distant past, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, generally, these old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 people feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were split into starters, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also informs us how the ancient cooks used many aromatic flavours, including a few you will know like basil, mint and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. These new foods and spices was responsible for an eruption in manuscripts on food, some of which are now in private libraries. During the next few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe books are greatly in demand mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more spare time and being a little richer. The revolution that is television brought us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
