The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts 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 wonderful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also tells us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few you will know for example basil, fennel and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new spices and herbs prompted a torrent in books on cookery, some of which still exist in academic collections. For the next few years, the upper-class families of the West tried to serve the best banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes of the day. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
