The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked far back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 people feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, something we still use today. He also tells us how the Roman cooks used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, fennel and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes led to a torrent in recipe manuscripts, most of which still exist in private libraries. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. However, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications are starting to become popular as a result of increased literacy, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The TV revolution brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
