The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes far back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these ancient recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are some tablets in the Sumerian language describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he tells us how the chefs of Roman times used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, fennel and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations prompted an explosion in publications on food, most of which are kept safe in private collections. During the following few centuries, the powerful families of Europe tried to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
