The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be observed far back into the distant past, in fact as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 people feel blissful and exhilarated. During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef describes how the early Romans used a wide range of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like basil, mint and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted a surge in cookery books, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. During the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe tried to serve up the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
