The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, mostly, these early cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics are a few tablets in Sumerian 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 making people feel exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he describes how the Romans used many spices, including some familiar names like basil, rue and asafoetida. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new spices and herbs from Arab countries, such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an outbreak in recipe books, some of which are now in private libraries. Over the next few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe books are starting to become popular mostly due to more people being able to read, people having more free time and having more disposable income. The introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
