The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be found far back into antiquity, at least as far as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, these, early records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are some 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 drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. He also recounts how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including some familiar names such as basil, rue and parsley. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the East, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused an explosion in manuscripts on food, most of which are kept safe in private collections. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the 1900s, cook books are in high demand, mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased free time and having more money. The arrival of TV gave us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
