The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of `recipes` way back into history, in truth as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these early cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian 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 drank it feel exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into starters, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. He also recounts how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, fennel and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices prompted an increase in cookery books, some of which still exist in private libraries. For the next few years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. 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 such as those found on this site. |
