The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of written recipes way back into the distant past, in fact as far as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, these, early cook books were just primitive pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians is a series of clay tablets in ancient 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 making those who drank it feel `blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also tells us how the ancient cooks used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like basil, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an eruption in recipe publications, most of which are now in private cookery archives. During the following few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe books are starting to become popular mostly due to more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and having more money. The arrival of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
