The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of written recipes back into antiquity, in truth as far as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these early cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the holy lands, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an eruption in manuscripts on cookery, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. During the following few hundred years, the rich families of Europe strove to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes common in their social group. The arrival of television brought us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
