The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes far back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which show the preparation 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 wonderful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Romans made use of many spices and herbs, including some familiar names such as thyme, rue and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an explosion in cookery books, some of which still exist in academic collections. For the next few years, the families of Europe strove to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The introduction of the TV gave us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
