The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of written recipes far back into history, in fact as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 people feel wonderful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef informs us how the cooks of Roman times used many herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, mint and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the East, including spices like basil and coriander. These new foods and tastes prompted an outbreak in recipe books, many of which are now in private cookery archives. For the centuries that followed, the powerful and wealthy strove to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes of the day. The introduction of the TV gave us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
