The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of `recipes` back into distant history, certainly as far back as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, these, ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 tried it feel exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were split into starters, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also describes how the chefs of Roman times used many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, mint and parsley. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and spices led to an increase in recipe books, some of which are kept safe in academic collections. Over the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes of the day. The introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
