The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found way back into the distant past, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, these, old records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making 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 tried it feel wonderful. During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into starters, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius recounts how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, fennel and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from the Middle-East, such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an explosion in manuscripts on food, most of which still exist in private collections. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful families of the West strove to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the 20th century, recipe books are starting to become popular as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and being a little richer. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site. |
