The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into distant history, at least as far as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, these old recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some 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 drinkers feel exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he describes how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many different spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, mint and parsley. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to a torrent in manuscripts on food, some of which still exist in private collections. Over the next few hundred years, the rich families of the West strove to serve up the most exotic meals, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. However, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing popular recipes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, cooking publications were greatly in demand mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more spare time and being a little richer. The arrival of TV brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
