The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be tracked way back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early recipes were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics are a few clay tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel `wonderful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he recounts how the meals were divided into starters, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he describes how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices was responsible for an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which are now in academic collections. For the centuries that followed, the rich and powerful families of Europe strove to offer the most exotic banquets, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collating, testing, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The introduction of the TV brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
