The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existence of recipes far back into the far past, at least as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking 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 exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef tells us how the Romans made use of many different herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise for example basil, rue and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices created a surge in cookery books, some of which are now in private collections. For the next few years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the most exotic meals, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes common in their social group. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site. |
