The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be tracked way back into the far past, in truth as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, these, ancient recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking 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 blissful. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of his times made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, mint and dill. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the East, including spices like rosemary and coriander. These new foods and spices caused a torrent in cookery books, some of which still exist in academic collections. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy strove to lay on the best banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the arrival of the 1900s, cook books were starting to become popular due to increased literacy, people having increased spare time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
