The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced way back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius compiled some scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius describes how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, mint and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the Middle-East, such as basil and coriander. These new spices and herbs caused an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, most of which are now in private cookery archives. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to offer the most exotic meals, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe books were in great demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and having more money. The TV revolution brought us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
