The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be observed way back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, sadly, these old recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef describes how the Roman cooks used many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. These new culinary innovations prompted a torrent in manuscripts on food, some of which are kept safe in private collections. During the following few hundred years, the powerful and rich strove to offer the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookbooks are greatly in demand due to better eduction, leisure time and having more disposable income. The arrival of television gave us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
